7 Layer Dip Burritos

This recipe is basically a bunch of 7 layer dip, wrapped up in a tortilla. Doesn’t that sound good? I loved these and they were pretty easy to make. This is a no meat recipe as is, but you could easily add some seasoned ground beef, chicken or shrimp to these. What is in 7Continue reading “7 Layer Dip Burritos”

Mexican Steak Tacos

Tacos are probably my husband’s favorite food. We love any and all kinds of tacos. Our favorite though are the Mexican tacos you get from food trucks and taquerias. They are so simple but so delicious. I used flank steak for these. You could also use skirt steak if you can find that. The keyContinue reading “Mexican Steak Tacos”

These crispy mini tacos are stuffed with refried beans, cheese and potatoes, pan fried and then served with a delicious homemade Mexican ranch dip.

It is so flavorfulContinue reading “Grilled Shrimp Tostadas with Guacamole and Pico de Gallo”

Buffalo Chicken Chili

I decided to try this recipe for Buffalo White Chicken Chili from Half Baked Harvest because I’ve never had white chicken chili with buffalo sauce and it sounded tasty. This is a fairly rich dish as it has cream cheese (and also calls for cheddar, which I left out) in the chili. I lightened itContinue reading “Buffalo Chicken Chili”

Al Pastor Chicken Tacos

We love traditional al pastor tacos (and really any tacos). They are challenging to make at home though. We’ve tried a few methods for making authentic-ish pork al pastor with mixed results. I decided to try this chicken version for a slightly healthier, easier weeknight meal. The marinade for these is the same marinade thatContinue reading “Al Pastor Chicken Tacos”

Carne Asada Tacos

We love any and all tacos, but Mexican style are our favorite. These marinated carne asada tacos have a ton of flavor and I love this recipe. The steak needs to marinate for 24 hours, so plan ahead on this one. The marinade for the meat is tasty combination of dried Mexican chilies, chipotle chilesContinue reading “Carne Asada Tacos”

Turkey Taco Salad with Jalapeno Lime Dressing

This healthier version of a taco salad has Mexican spiced ground turkey breast, lots of veggies, black beans, and a delicious jalapeno garlic lime dressing that really adds tons of flavor. I used both romaine and green leaf lettuce in this salad. Green and red leaf lettuce have more nutritional content than romaine does, soContinue reading “Turkey Taco Salad with Jalapeno Lime Dressing”
