I am so excited that Billieanne is wanting to learn how to cook! She did so awesome tonight! I got so busy helping her I completly forgot to take any pictures!
Her recipe was for Shredded Chicken Soft Tacos. This is what we did:
We sauteed about 1 1/2 pounds of boneless chicken tenders in a splash of olive oil and sprinkled liberally with some Southwest Seasoning until done. When chicken is done, move to a bowl and shred.
Take a large pot, dump the shredded chicken in, add (1) can of corn with peppers (otherwise known as Mexi-corn), (2) cups of salsa, (1) can of drained and rinsed black beans and heat for about 10 minutes until hot all the way through.
While that is heating, it is time to make some homemade salsa!! We used (6) medium sized tomatoes, (1) poblano pepper (take the seeds out!), (1) medium sized onion, cilantro, minced garlic, 1/2 of a lime.
Slice the tomatoes, poblano pepper and onion into a very fine dice. Add about 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and tear in some cilantro leaves. Add 3/4 of the salsa to a blender and blend until smooth, mix back in with the 1/4 that you did not blend.
Heat your soft taco shells in the microwave for 30 seconds. Fill the soft taco shells with the chicken mixture, top with shredded cheddar cheese and homemade salsa. Top with sour cream and EAT!!
I don't think I will ever buy jarred salsa again! I loved our salsa!! I am very proud of Billieanne for cooking dinner!
