We have a fake tree that seems to be missing with all my ornaments. I'm pretty sure it's at our storage unit. I'll just have to wait until next week to get it. In the meantime we have a few lights up to enjoy.
For Dinner last night and tonight I went Mexican. Last night Chicken Fajitas and tonight Mexican Pizza. Both super easy and super tasty. Two of my favorite things.
Chicken Fajitas
chicken
onions
green pepper
shredded cheese
tortillas
salsa
sour cream
I baked the chicken earlier in the day.
Cooked onion and green bell peppers in some olive oil.
I Shredded the Chicken and added it to the pan.
For the Salsa I cut up one tomato, added some lime juice, onion, garlic clove, cumin, cilantro, salt and pepper.
For dessert we had T's new favorite cookies.
Mexican Pizza
tortillas
ground beef
shredded cheese
enchilada sauce (recipe below)
taco seasoning (recipe below)
salsa
sour cream
I put the tortilla in the oven to become crisp.
Cooked the ground beef in a pan. Seasoning it with taco seasoning.
Taco Seasoning
This is a healthier taco seasoning than the packaged seasoning you get at the store. I like making my own because I get to control the amount of salt as well and I know what is in it.
2 tbsp Chili powder
1 1/2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
2 tsp Cumin
2 tsp Ground Oregano
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp Paprika
Directions
Mix all ingredients together.
Store in an airtight container.
Enchilada Sauce
2 Cups No Salt Added Tomato Sauce (2 8 oz. cans)
2 Tbsp Taco Seasoning (above)
Sea Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Stir over med-low heat for 5 mins.
Building the pizza.
Add a couple tablespoons (or more if you want) of sauce onto a baked tortilla. Add some of the seasoned beef. Add the cheese.
Broil for a couple minutes.
Add Salsa and Sour Cream
Other toppings you can use
