Chicken-Veggie Soft Tacos
olive oil
2 chicken breasts, thawed
1 onion
1 yellow squash
1 zucchini squash
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp red pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 small can mushroom pieces, drained
1 tomato
8 small flour tortillas
8 large romaine lettuce leaves
shredded cheddar cheese
Cube chicken into centimeter-long pieces. Dice tomato, onion, and squash.
Brown onion in a large skillet or wok. Add squash, cumin, and red pepper; cook until soft and well-seasoned.
In separate skillet, shake salt and pepper over chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, about three minutes.
Add chicken to vegetable mixture. Pour in mushrooms and tomato. Stir, cover, and heat through.
Place one tortilla on a plate; cover with lettuce leaf. Spoon two heaping tablespoons of the chicken-veggie filling onto the lettuce. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Fold the tortilla in half. Repeat until you have 8 soft tacos.
I invented this recipe tonight from ingredients I had on hand. Turned out pretty good! Unfortunately I did not take any pictures.
Sean and I each ate four soft tacos. I ended up having a little filling left over, which probably could have been doled out among the eight tacos.
Lunch outside
Tandoori chicken and spinach; rice and peas; steamed broccoli; and tomato slices.
My first meal of the day
Somehow I managed not to eat until 1:30pm. I don't consider this a good thing.
Regardless, for now I'm having a mango and some whole grain crackers with cheese.
Ruby Tuesday: Avocado Turkey Burger
I ate the side salad and then realized I hadn't taken a picture of it. It had the best croutons EVAR. They were some sort of dark brown bread.
Edit: Kelly says the croutons are pumpernickel. :D
Baked tilapia with mango salsa
So here’s what I did with most of the rest of the salsa:
I still have a little left, which hopefully I will eat today, in some form or fashion.
Mango Salsa
Since joining Oasis Garden‘s CSA, I’ve had more and more interesting produce to try and create dishes with. It’s forced me to be more creative with what I have on hand.
The past two weeks there’s been a mango in my box. I still had both of them as of tonight, so I decided I’d better use the oldest one.
A recipe for Avocado-Mango Salsa was included in last week’s box. I didn’t have all the ingredients so I omitted some and substituted others. Here’s what I ended up doing–and it’s amazingly delicious! I’m going to eat some with chips tonight and save the rest to go with fish tomorrow.
Mango Salsa
1 mango, peeled, seeded and diced
1/2 tomato, diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
3/4 c chopped onion
1 T white sugar
1 T olive oil
2 T white wine vinegar
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
1 tsp salt
Toss first seven ingredients together, then fold in avocado. Season with salt.
This morning’s McDonald’s experience
I ordered a number 12, which is two sausage burritos and hash browns, with a Diet Coke, no ice, and a fruit ‘n yogurt parfait.
At first I received…a fruit ‘n yogurt parfait. “I also ordered a number 12,” I informed the girl at the window. She had me pull forward.
When she came out with my food, there was no drink. “I also had a Diet Coke, no ice,” I told her. As she ran back in to get the drink, I looked in the bag and saw that there was an apple pie in it. There also seemed to be two burritos and a hash brown, though, so I decided not to worry about it.
Finally at work I opened everything and discovered that instead of two sausage burritos, I was given two breakfast burritos.
