The bad things are that I have to shovel, keep his truck running (more of a challenge mentally and literally when it's 20 below than you might think), and WORST OF ALL, I am responsible for consuming ALL leftovers. I'm good at eating the same thing two nights in a row, and maybe a lunch. Beyond that, I can't do it... but I always seem to convince myself that it's doable and by the time I realize it isn't, I have a collection of science experiments (and really cool colors) in tupperware in my fridge.
Whoops.
That's my attempt at saying I'm not really bringing much to Friday Potluck. I made adobo lime chicken tacos this week, and just finished night #3 of them. They were amazing all three nights, especially since they are SO easy. With my pumped up work out schedule, I find that I want to go to bed much earlier, but still need to make sure I get enough protein ... and calories in general.
Adobo Lime Chicken Tacos
1 lb chicken, cubed into small 1/2" pieces
1 tbsp adobo lime rub
tortillas (I use the cook-your-own variety from Costco)
tomatoes, diced
cheddar cheese, shredded
lettuce, shredded
taco sauce to taste.
Heat a pan and toss the chicken in, sprinkling liberally with the rub. Cook until done, in the meantime prepping the other ingredients. Assemble tacos. Eat!
Store the ingredients in small bowls so that you can easily repeat. I don't have pictures, but I can tell you they are delicious!

Your tacos sound delicious - I like the idea of the lime in them too. I'm sharing my Chicken in Mustard and Tarragon Sauce today. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI agree on leftovers. Two nights are ok. By the third, I'm tired of it. Reading that you were still jazzed about these tacos on night 3 is high praise.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
I am so sorry, I should have finished my coffee before posting...I did not mean to add the same thing I posted last week and there was no going back once I did it. You are welcome to delete my Parmesan-Herb Zucchini Sticks entry since I can't. (ugh!) Thanks for hosting! I'll make sure I'm awake next time! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Erin, I can't imagine how cold -20 degrees can be. I hope it begins to warm up soon. I know I would feel the same way you do in your situation. Cooking sometimes is not high on the list when your schedule is tight.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting and I hope you stay warm : ),

I don't know if I've ever seen adobo lime rub, but it sure sounds good! I understand when the cat's away, the mouse eats leftovers. Glad you found something that you could eat 3 nights in a row. Those tacos do sound good! I've linked up my tostadas which were my leftovers when the cat left town. :) Thanks for hosting.
