Well I started this blog today with the help of my lovely husband because I am not tech savy at all! This is just going to be a little old blog so I can brag about my family, the things we do together, the little things I accomplish here at home, DIY projects, and my new hobby, cooking.
Today I dropped my son Ares off for Kindergarten today then went to the YMCA with my bestie Kyle Ann. We swam laps in the lap pool for an hour then of course had to take a 10min dip in the hot tub to relax our soar muscles. I am so proud of myself because throughout the rest of the afternoon I did not snack one bit!!! This is awesome for me because in case you can't tell from my picture I'm a little pudgy. I have been trying to lose weight so I can fit into my wedding dress by April. Granted I just had a small sonic reeses peanut butter blast. I did not plan to eat it all, but by the time Kyle brought it back to me it was melted so it was like eating soup so I ended up eating it all before I knew it. That's it I am not eating anymore ice cream after this!
For dinner I made Buffalo Chicken Tacos for the first time ever and they turned out amazing! Here are some pictures of the dinner. Here are some pictures of the fabulous meal!
Buffalo Chicken Tacos
The recipe called to cook the chicken in a dutch oven, but since I'm cheap and I don't want to spend money on a dutch oven I just pan fried it.
Here is our little set up for our tacos!
Here is the final product! So yummy you could eat it huh?
WARNING! Those these tacos were terribly delicious I feel that I should warn you before you borrow this recipe.
1st: The corn tortillas broke apart very easily. They added a wonderful taste to the tacos though so I didn't complain, but my husband Kyle didn't like it so he wrapped up his tortiall in a flour tortilla and said they were much better that way.
2nd: Do NOT put as much cilantro as we did because it was very over powering. Put just a teeny bit, or just skip it if you want because I tried one without the cilantro and it really could taste the flavor of the chicken more. Now here is the recipe!
Ingredients:1 pound chicken breasts, skinless, boneless, cut into 1 inch pieces
⅓ cup flour3 tablespoon cornstarch
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
⅓ cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s Buffalo Wing) , plus extra for garnishment
1 Tablespoon olive oil
10 6-inch yellow corn tortillas
Toppings:
Shredded butter Lettuce
Diced onions mixed with cilantro
Avocado slices
Ranch dressing
Green onions, sliced thinly
Tomato diced
Preparation:Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat (or pan fry it like I did if you don't have one!).
In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, flour, cayenne, and garlic powder. Season the chicken pieces with pepper, then dredge in the flour mixture.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the Dutch oven and once it gets hot, add chicken and cook on both sides – about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Once the chicken is done, set it aside in a bowl and toss with ⅓ cup buffalo wing sauce.
Assemble 10 tacos, dividing the toppings evenly among each taco.
Yield: 5 servings, 2 tacos each.
