Quick and Easy Chicken Tacos

These will quickly become a favorite weeknight dinner recipe! And they make great leftovers too, that is of course if there happens to be a single bite size piece left.

You'll love these tacos because not only are they super fast and incredibly flavorful, but no grill is required and they are brimming with delicious, fresh Mexican flavor!

And the way the chicken perfectly browns up (even blackens a little) and get's nice crispy edges in a hot skillet is completely satisfying.

Then for serving, you've got options. You can serve with just the staples - onion, cilantro and lime. Like a street taco.

Or you can go all out and pile them up with lettuce, queso fresco (or other Mexican cheese), pico de gallo, guacamole or avocado, grilled corn, pickled onions or jalapeños, or loads of Mexican hot sauce.

I usually like to add the works when I've got time. But really this chicken is so good you could eat it all on it's own with a side of Mexican rice and you'd still have an amazing dinner!

Homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup

Chicken tortilla soup will forever and always be one of my favorites. Who can resist those fresh, well spiced Mexican flavors in a cozy bowl of soup?

This quick version includes so much texture and flavor variations but it truly just comes together so perfectly. Layer upon layer of enticing taste.

And a critical part of what really makes this soup so good are those toppings (don't every skip the tortilla chips/strips). So pile the toppings high and serve it warm and steamy!

An Easy Healthy Rice Recipe!

This has been one of my favorite sides to make this summer. It will remind you of a Cowboy Caviar (Texas Caviar) Dip but instead of serving as a chip dip it's a refreshing side dish.

I love to serve it with grilled chicken or pan seared salmon, and it would also be delicious with shrimp. Honestly though it's so filling that you could just serve up a bowlful of this for lunch or dinner and no one would be complaining.

We all get caught in the slump of "what am I going to make to go with it"? This seems like a good all-purpose place to go, no more boring plain rice!

And it's made with simple ingredients yet it's brimming with flavor! Fresh ingredients make the best recipes!

It's just one of those recipes that you can feel great about eating, possibly even giving you a little pep in your step instead of feeling weigh down after dinner. This is fuel you through the day food.
