Philly Cheese Steak Tacos
I recently found this recipe for a cheesesteak style meal, all made in a cast iron skillet. I was intrigued by the one-pan method and the use of lean ground beef instead of thinly sliced sirloin. Sure, that makes it healthy(er), but it also makes it way easier because you don’t have to try and get the … Continue reading

Pizzarito
It’s pizza, as a burrito. Nothing bad about that. This dish of my own design sounds strange – so much so that Albert wasn’t sold on it and chose to eat the previous night’s leftovers instead – but it tastes so good. Once Albert smelled it and saw me eating it, he regretted his decision … Continue reading

Steak and Squash Tacos
We are all very used to seeing steak tacos served with sauteed peppers and onions. It’s a good combo, one I can’t fault, but I’m going to suggest a small change.

All the ingredients of a taco, just a little less messy and healthier (thanks the the rice/quinoa swap). While the quinoa cooks, start browning ground turkey with taco seasoning (chili powder, garlic powder, … Continue reading

BBQ Chicken Tacos
I continue to get creative with Taco Tuesday. [Currently patting myself on the back.] My last invention blended Mexican tacos with my Southern heritage. I slathered chicken tenders with bar-b-cue sauce and baked them for about 20 minutes at 425. (Those little strips cook up fast!) When they were done, I chopped the chicken til … Continue reading
Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Crema Slaw
When I started Taco Tuesday, the goal was just to have tacos every week. Now that I’ve pretty much settled into that groove, I’ve decided to one-up myself by trying new taco recipes whenever possible. This one was all built around the slaaaaw. I knew I wanted some sort of slaw on these tacos, and slaw … Continue reading
