Chicken Burrito Bowl

We love Chipotle as a quick dinner option during the week when I don’t feel like cooking. Usually I get their salad, but will also get the burrito bowl. I think they’re basically the sane thing, one just has lettuce. Our daughter, Kylie, loves Chipotle, as I think most teens do. I wanted to try…

NY Sirloin Steak Tacos

My cousin, Molly, came to visit over the weekend and we had so much fun. We could sit and chat for hours … which we do. We mix that in with our shopping, something we do best. While we were talking, I asked Molly if she liked Mexican food and if there was a favorite…

Avocado, Grilled Corn and Grilled Radish Tacos

I meant to post this recipe last night, which would have made it a “Meatless Monday” meal. However, I decided to spend time with my daughter and run an errand with her so it has now turned into a “Taco Tuesday” meal. It was going to be a win-win either way. A friend of mine,…

Ground Beef Tostadas

It’s Taco Tuesday! However, tonight at our house, it was Tostada Tuesday. I didn’t need to add much seasoning to my ground beef for our tostadas. Instead, I decided to flavor my ground beef with kosher salt, pepper, a small can of diced green chiles and a can of red Chile sauce. I started by…

Roasted Salmon Tacos

Instead of Taco Tuesday for tomorrow night, we had Mexican Monday tonight. I had already planned on making chili for dinner for Tuesday because San Diego is expecting a winter storm … lots of rain and wind will be coming our way. The rain actually started this evening, it’s so cozy! Last week I watched…

Flank Steak and Corn Tacos

Since last night was Tuesday, I made tacos for dinner. I chose flank steak as the protein for my tacos. I started by marinating my steak. I sprinkled kosher salt, pepper and Chile lime seasoning over both sides of the steak. After that, I squeezed the juice of two limes (making sure to set aside the…

Roasted Bell Pepper Tacos

This past Saturday I sat down to compile my menus for the week and put together my grocery lists. I knew I wanted to make tacos for tonight, but wanted to come up with something a little bit different, a little bit unexpected. I decided I’d make my tacos in bell pepper halves that I…

Chicken Tostadas Marinated in Cilantro Dressing

One of my favorite fast food restaurants is El Pollo Loco. I’ve always enjoyed El Pollo Loco, but even more so now that they’ve introduced an under 500 calorie menu. This is where I choose to eat if we happen to be heading out for a quick bite on a weeknight because I know I…
