So I had these leftover chicken breasts

[walton_eats]

I cubed them and marinated them in lime juice, Penzey's fajita seasoning and a smidge of vegetable oil. I made guacamole with two avocados, a good squeeze of lime, a bit of minced onion, a couple of dashes of Tabasco, a pinch of salt and a spoonful of Pace Mild Chunky Salsa. I made pico de gallo with Roma tomatoes, minced jalapeno, finely chopped sweet onion, minced cilantro, a squeeze of lime and a bit of salt. I pulled a package of Sargento 2% 4-Cheese Mexican Blend out of the fridge. I chopped up some more sweet onion and mixed it with a bit of minced cilantro. I steamed some small corn tortillas. I sauteed the chicken in some olive oil, then added a cup of chicken broth and cooked it all down until the liquid was gone and the chicken browned.

I assembled the tacos with a couple of corn tortillas each, chicken, cheese, guacamole, onion and pico de gallo. For a side dish I simmered canned black beans with some canned diced tomato and its juice, some cumin and some cayenne pepper.

I *knew* you were a hot mexi-melt. A little Herdez salsa casera works well when ya don't wanna do a pico. Pace is *so* not right.

Ah, it's only a spoonful in the guacamole. :) Tim *loves* that stuff, and it gives a little bit of zing to the guac. The rest of it ends up in a bowl in front of Tim, along with a bowl full of tortilla chips.

Herdez is the *best*. I love it.

"Herdez is the *best*. I love it."

Of course you do...it's the one and only.

Tim and Aaron could be best buddies!

I'm really not.

One of them rocks my world!

Do you have a tortilla steamer?

[klwalton.livejournal.com]

No. I steam them in a bamboo steamer in a covered wok :).

[anthologie.livejournal.com]

Ahh. That works? We wet them on both sides and stick them in the toaster-oven, which also works. :)

Oh, yes! Line the bottom of the steamer with a bit of parchment. Works really well.
