These tightly rolled tacos were so easy to make, so packed with flavor and super filling. It’s amazing just how far two boneless chicken breasts can go. If you like heat, use a hot salsa and spicy guacamole. If heat isn’t your thing, go with their milder cousins.

French Bread Taco Boat is a Hit
Those of you who have been following along for a while know that I like to plan my meals out way, way in advance. Usually I put the final touches on the meal planner toward the end of the week for the following week, making little adjustments as needed. When I saw this great idea for a casual meal, I didn’t know where to place it.

This is a cast iron dish that is still a work in progress. I wasn’t even going to share it just yet, especially since I just gave you a No-Bean Nacho recipe last week. After much consideration and debate, I decided to go ahead and share. Maybe you have some ideas that would help this casual skillet supper hit its mark.
Mexican Salad with Jalapeno Ranch Dressing and Dorito Croutons
Those of you who have been following along for a while know that every spring Hubby and I plant a small garden. We mainly grow tomatoes, tomatillos and a variety of peppers. Our freezer is full of peppers and sauces. Great for soups or salad dressings with a nice spicy kick.

No Bean Cheesy Beef Nachos
There are National Days (for America) and International Days to celebrate. Sometimes, the National and International Days are one and the same. Sometimes the National Days exist only in America. Still other days are different depending upon the calendar used.

Easy Gordito Ground Beef Taquitos
Today I’m going to share with you what I consider to be a work in progress. While these Taquitos are good, with just the right amount of crunch, there’s something missing. It might be years before I declare these Ground Beef Taquitos to be perfect. In the meantime, we’ve got good.
Supper Time is Fun Time with Taco Biscuit Cups
Taco Biscuit Cups are super easy to make, fun to eat and unbelievable filling. One or two “biscuits” is more than enough for even the largest appetites. My guys loved them. Hubby said he could eat Taco Cups several times a week. They are that good.

Savory Slow-Cooker Mexican Pot Roast
There is something about the fall that brings out all sorts of roasts for dinner. I’m not sure if it’s the cooler evening that sparks a desire for meatier dishes or the nostalgic mood that seems to come with Autumn. All I know is that a roast of some sort is always welcome at the table.
The Grand Taco Touchdown!
I know, football season has barely begun, so why am I thinking Super Bowl? In part because I don’t really care what teams are playing so I can think ahead. I’m only a fan of football for two reasons – I love my husband and I love the “munchie” style foods we all enjoy.
Hot Salsa Chicken Burrito Wraps
Recently I mentioned our prior life – one with travel to far away places. Every now and again, when I think Mexican Foods I think of Cozumel. I remember walking through the streets of Cozumel with Hubby and Kiddo, taking in the sights and sounds and smells of this seaside town.
Jug Bands and Chorizo Burgers
The first time that I came across the idea of a Chorizo Burger Topped with Shrimp was about a year ago. My guys wanted a weekly burger night, and I wanted to inject a little variety. The weekly burger night idea didn’t last long. It’s not the healthiest of meals and even the best burgers become mundane after a while. So this recipe was tucked away for another day.
The Beauty of a Mexican Cobb Taco Salad
On the menu was a Mexican Cobb Salad with Nacho Chips. My guys knew we were having salad. When they came home from work, they paused in the kitchen, looking strangely at the cans and seasonings on the counter. You would think by now they would know we don’t do anything “ordinary” when we can go for extraordinary.

Skillet Chipotle Bean Dip
Oh my gosh, how did this happen? The regular NFL football season is nearly upon us. Already I’ve lost Hubby to the pre-season games. The opening game is just two weeks away, with Green Bay at Chicago for the Thursday Night Game. There’s only one thing to do to win his attention and that is to make a few favorite game day munchies.
