Easy Chicken Tacos

So, my family and I gave up red meat for Lent so I am taking chicken to another level just so we don't get bored with eating chicken the same way for 40 days lol... I thought let's try some chicken tacos with that rotisserie chicken I already have that was on sale because it was after 6pm and that's when they usually start marking down the chickens in the deli FYI. They freeze well also. If my kids like it it's a thumbs up and if I can incorporate some veggies yeah me!! Try it for yourself, they are yummy......

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup ranch dressing
• 1/4 cup sour cream (reduced fat or fat free)
• 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix, divided
• 1 1/2 cup chunky salsa (Use hot salsa for a spicy kick), divided
• 2 cups shredded or chopped rotisserie chicken
• 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
• shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
• green onions, sliced (Optional)
• sliced black olives (Optional)
• sliced jalapenos Optional)

Directions

1. Combine ranch dressing, sour cream, 1 teaspoon taco seasoning, and 2 tablespoon salsa in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
2. In a medium bowl toss chicken with remaining taco seasoning. Cover bowl and microwave chicken until chicken is heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Warm the tortillas in a microwave for about a minute to make them pliable.
4. Place a scoop of chicken on the tortilla and top with lettuce, salsa, green onion, olives, jalapenos, cheese, and a spoonful of the ranch dressing mixture.

Serve with Mexican corn, refried beans and maybe some chips and salsa.

Hot Dog-dilla

If you have been following my blog for a while you know my family and I LOVE Hot Dogs. So when I came across this idea of making a quesedilla with hot dogs I thought hummm that might be pretty good. I thought it was very tasty and perfect for football parties. You can use what ever kind of hot dog or sausage style hot dog you prefer, beef, turkey, with cheese, spicy, etc.  If you like hot dogs you're gonna love this.....

What you need....

• 6-8 (8-inch) flour tortillas (1 11 oz. package)
• 1 1/2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
• 1/2 cup new york sharp cheddar shredded cheese
• 4 hot dogs, thinly sliced diagonally
• 1/2 cup sour kraut
• Katsup
• Spicy deli style mustard
• Cooking oil

Directions.....

1. Cook hot dogs (I cook them on my stove top grill).
2. Warm tortillas in microwave.
3.  Divide cheese, kraut and hot dog slices evenly among tortillas.
4. Top each with remaining tortillas.
5. If you have a stove top grill or electric griddle, spray with oil and place quesdilla's on griddle/grill then rest a small plate on quesadilla to weigh it down or close lid; cook for about 2 minutes, until golden underneath. Remove plate, flip quesadilla with a spatula, weigh down with plate and cook until cheese is melted and tortilla is crisp on other side, about 2 minutes. Keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and quesadillas
If you don't have a griddle/grill use a  medium skillet and repeat steps in #5.
Cut each quesadilla with a pizza wheel or a large, sharp knife into 4 equal wedges.

Serve with condiments.

Chips and fruit make the perfect side items.
