Fajita Taco

These last 3 taco recipes were based on a batch of 2.  So have one mega thick one(where the frozen shells stuck together) or divide into 2 taco servings.  These are all low fat with only the machine brushed lightly with oil to keep from sticking and the fat in the cheese slice.  This could be turned into a tostada by using only 1 shell and precooking a while, then turn the shell over before adding the rest of the layers into the machine.

 

Fajita Tacos


Use the April 9, 2017 taco recipe but make these changes.  Add a tiny bit of fresh or dried oregano (I used to much in the photo), fresh or frozen strips of sweet bell pepper to the bottom layer with your favorite meat sprinkled with dry taco seasoning powder.   Top the taco at serving time with salsa, shredded lettuce, and tomato if desired.

Oster Regency Kitchen Center and Ziploc's Very Berry Grapefruit Smoothie

This machine has many different attachments.  Today I will be using the blender attachment.  Set blender attachment on motor mount.  Pour juice to the 1 cup line in the blender pitcher.  I found I  needed to add 1/4 cup sugar and 1 cup of water to the following recipe.  Add recipe ingredients.  Set knob on # 9 then go to the highest setting.  Press the on button until well blended.  Turn off.  Taste, is it sweet enough?  If not then add more sugar.  Too sweet?  Then add more water.  I have used spearmint in the glass.

Ziploc's Green Monster Smoothie and Crab Soft Taco

Crab Soft Taco


Make the same as yesterday's blog, but substitute imitation crab for the chicken and use shredded or whole baby romaine lettuce instead.  This different brand of shells also stuck together, it must be because it was frozen prior, as the unfrozen brands I've used before do not stick together.

Green Monster Smoothie from Ziploc

I made this with a fresh grapefruit and juiced it first before blending it last time and it was better tasting.  Today I used 1 cup bottled grapefruit juice instead.

This is the tool I used to cut the fresh pineapple.  Look on my HB Sandwich Maker blog for how I use it:  https://www.tripleclicks.com/16585161/detail?item=513990

Hamilton Beach Breakfast Burrito Maker Recap and Blueberry Smoothie

I was hungry for something with egg today and made this following recipe for lunch.  Just use this as a basic idea and use up what is in your fridge and freezer like I did.



 BASIL CHICKEN SOFT TACO


Green onion tops, frozen or fresh
Corn tortillas - 2     fresh or from the freezer (used a butter knife to separate 2 frozen ones  from the rest)
 Pre-cooked sliced left-over chicken breast    https://www.tripleclicks.com/16585161/detail?item=567077
1 slice of cheese
1 egg
Onion, chopped
Cilantro or Parsley, chopped    https://www.tripleclicks.com/16585161/detail?item=502083
Basil leaves - 4
Fresh spinach for toppings and served with
Picante Sauce

Quick and easy with no trip to the store.  Usually I divide the tortillas but they stuck together this time and made a thicker, firmer shell.

Use my earlier posts of Hamilton Beach Breakfast Burrito Maker for 10/7/16 and 11/9/16 for directions on how to use this machine and ideas for seasoning the egg with cooking times.  Use 2017 April's first week on making the smoothie.

 Blueberry Smoothie  

2 cups juice (I used Ocean Spray 100% Juice Cranberry Pineapple)
1 bag of frozen Blueberries 10 oz.
1/2 - 1 Banana

Yet Another Smoothie

Grape Cranberry Raspberry Blackberry  Smoothie


2 cups juice- I used 10 oz. Ocean Spray, Cranberry Concord Grape 100% Juice and 6 oz. water

1 package, 12 oz. Mixed Berries of Strawberry Blackberry and Raspberry

1 banana, optional


See the end of March listing for how to make this and use this machine.  You may add more water to thin this if needed.  The empty bottle works nice to fill with the smoothie and take with you in the car or lunchbox.
