Final Four Chicken Nachos

This was about as simple as it gets to make but it tasted like I slaved away all day on this dish. I diced up a couple organic chicken breasts and cooked them off with some green peppers, garlic, and taco seasoning. While that was going on I heated up a can of refried beans and brought the cement mixture to temperature. I then spread out a layer of Tostitos onto a cookie sheet and then topped them with cheese, the chicken mixture, and the refried beans. I then covered everything in more cheese and some fresh jalapenos. Bake until all the cheese has melted and the chips get super crispy. Finish with a little sour cream and some salsa and this dish is ready to be eaten.

Mexican Food, Part Dos

Looks like the IJAT planets aligned last night as we went out for Mexican and I also went for a "fajita". However, I don't like my fajita the traditional way. I almost always order a Fajita Quesadilla when I go to a Mexican Restaurant. These almost never disappoint, but last nights Chicken Fajita Quesadilla did just that. Usually it is prepared just like a fajita would be but placed inside a tortilla and finished off just like a normal quesadilla. For whatever reason they decided to dice the peppers and onions and it totally changed the texture of this meal. Sure it tasted the same, but visually it was quite different once I cut into it...and somehow that changed how I enjoyed eating it. Hopefully next time they, La Nopalera, will prepare this the "traditional" way and leave the creative stuff for the high end restaurants. If it ain't broke...don't fix it.

Salmon Spinach Salad w/ Pineapple-Mango Salsa

Bakes salmon on top of fresh spinach, mushrooms, sweet orange and yellow peppers, pita chips and a balsamic dressing that I made. I then made a pineapple-mango salsa to go on top of the salmon. In this was pineapple, mango, tomato, Vidalia Onion, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, pepper, and lime juice. A little scallion was used as a garnish and to give just a little more bite to the salad. Everything about this salad was perfect. Especially for dinner on a summers night.
