Lately I have noticed that Justin and I get too anxious to make new recipes that we ignore our leftovers from previous meals and spend money on more ingredients. Last Saturday, we were tempted to have a "mexican night" complete with guacamole, taco salad, and margaritas. However, we noticed that there was a big container full of quinoa chicken left over, so we gave those a mexican twist and created quinoa chicken tacos. This is an easy recipe and just shows that you can take an unappealing leftover food and turn it into what tastes like a 5 star meal. When in doubt… turn it into a taco!
Quinoa Chicken Tacos
Ingredients:
1 Bag Mini Tortillas (That way you can eat more ;))
1/2 Cup Chopped Onions
1/2 Cup Chopped Peppers
1/2 Cup Chopped Tomatoes
1/2 Tbsp Butter
1 Small Bag Lettuce
1 Lime
2 Tbsp Any Sauce/Topping
Directions:
1. Heat up a sauté pan and add butter, onions, and peppers. Cook over medium heat until they are almost tender.
2. Add the chicken to the pan to heat up (since the chicken is already cooked).
3. Lay out your tortillas and fill with the cooked onions and peppers, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and the sauce you choose (I tried the spicy mustard and bbq sauce).
4. Squeeze a lime over your tacos to add an extra burst of flavor and eat up!
Kick it up a notch with a fancy plate=)
