Super easy TACO DIP!




I have made taco dip a few times within the past month and everyone is asking me for the recipe.  Its super easy and simple and takes only like 5 minute to assemble!  I don't go to Walmart often out of choice but I do love their Marketside Pice de Galo and guacamole.  The only picture I had is from my daughter's Halloween party at school so it had a spider web design from the cream cheese. 

I use my homemade taco seasoning but everything else is purchased from the store ready to go.

What do you need?
1 large can refried beans
1 container pico de galo
14 oz guacamole
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/2 cup shredded mexican cheese (estimate)
1 tablespoon sour cream

Mix together the taco seasoning and refried beans.  Smooth onto bottom of platter.  (I use the thin disposable cake pan).  Then a layer of guacamole.  Then the pico de galo.  Sprinkle entire top with cheese.  Put sour cream in a ziplock bag and cut a whole and squeeze on top of cheese.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

BBQ Chicken Burritos




I am trying to start eating healthy again and I found this great website, eatingwell.com

Tonight I made Pico de Galo and BBQ Chicken Burritos.

Pico de Galo(optional):
4 roma tomatoes
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1/2 bunch cilantro chopped (you can add more for taste if wanted)
1 tsp minced garlic

Dice tomatoes and mix together. Leave in fridge at least 2 hours to marinate.

BBQ Chicken Burritos:

Step 1: Chicken
You can get a whole roasted chicken or roast your own. I had two pretty big chicken breast with bone that I roasted using below recipe.

Preheat oven to 400. Put a little water and white wine in a glass dish big enough to hold chicken. Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, paprkia, and cumin on the breasts. Cover with foil and bake at least 1 hr or until chicken is done. Shred (I do this using 2 forks) and put into pot.

Step 2: Add all of this to chicken in pot on low/med heat.
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1/2 cup frozen corn
4 oz reduced fat sour cream

Microwave wheat tortilla for 12 seconds to soften. Put on plate and spread with advocado. Put a piece of romaine lettuce on top. Spoon chicken mixture ontop of lettuce and top with Pico de galo.

I ate mine with a fork and knife because it was so overloaded but if you have bigger tortillas you may be able to fold/wrap and eat like a real burrito. If you want to skip the wrap to make it healthier, just put chicken mix in a bowl and pico de galo

Cheesy Beef Enchiladas

I don't really like the Taco kits from the store so I decided to make my own. Very easy and really good.

1 pack lean ground beef (mine was 1.40 lb of ground round and then I drain and rinse in colander after cooked before adding seasonings)
1/2 medium onion diced
1 heaping tablespoon cream cheese
1 slice pepper jack cheese
1 16 oz can enchilada sauce
6 flat out whole grain wraps (or other low carb wrap)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375

Cook beef and drain if needed.

Add onion, 1/4 can enchilada sauce, cream cheese, and pepper jack cheeese to beef. Let cook down about 10 minutes. Divide meat mixture into each wrap and roll up. Put in casserole dish, pour rest of enchilada sauce and top with cheddar cheese. Bake about 30 minutes.
