This is my infamous Taco Chicken. Put taco seasoning in a ziplock bag. Place a piece of chicken in the bag and shake it until coated (like shake-n-bake) and then bake in the oven at 425 for 20 min. or until done. For the last 5 minutes, I put a jar of salsa over the chicken until the salsa is heated through. To serve top with shredded cheese (I use Monterey Jack), a dallop of sour cream, and sliced black olives. Serve with some rice, pico de gallo, and guacamole and you're done!
I make my guacamole very simply because I want to taste as much of the avocado without drowning it in other stuff. Mine consists of mashed avocado, 1 clove of fresh, pressed garlic, and juice from 1/2 of a lime. Mix until blended.
I also made bean and cheese dip - I know there is a name for this, but I can't think of it now. Anyway, it's not very diet friendly, but it sure tastes good with the tortilla chips with a hint of lime. I tried to at least help myself a little by getting the fat-free refried beans! I found this cheese sauce and just mixed it together with the beans and microwaved it until heated through.
I asked the girls to help set the table that night. I came out to find them so proud of themselves because they made a Mickey Mouse out of the plates and silverware. You never know what you're going to get when you ask 4 yr. olds to help! You do get a good laugh sometimes though.
That's hilarious! Oh, and by the way, your bean dip looks like barf! I'm sure it was good though. I like to also take nasty Velveeta (but it's sooo good), and Rotel and put that in the crock pot. I add black beans and leftover taco beef. It's delish!
ReplyDeleteYou lost me when you described it as "Nasty". You need to work on your presentation a little more! Ha!Ha! Bean dip never really has a good visual presentation either.
ReplyDeletewell, presentation aside I'm sure it was great! I love mexican foods :)
