Tonite is Mexi nite. I get all the ingredients ready and spread out on the table for my family to build their own tacos, burritos or nachos. They put on or leave off what they want. If someone wants tacos...they have that, if someone wants a burrito...there you go. The kids love building their own food. So does the hubby. All you need is meat, beans,cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, sour cream, and salsa. Then get flour tortillas for burritos, corn chips for nachos, and taco shells for tacos. You can even just make a taco salad with all the ingredients, except crumble up tortilla chips for the top. MMMM yum. Tommorrow nite...make your own pizza...Boboli makes that easy and you can use some of your leftover taco nite ingredients for it.
Heres the perfect dinner for tonight:
Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Image: http://images.teamsugar.com/files/users/...
INGREDIENTS:
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded pepperjack cheese or ricotta
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
1 pinch ground black pepper
7 slices bacon
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place spinach in a large glass bowl, and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirring every minute or so, or until wilted. Stir in sour cream, pepperjack cheese, and garlic.
Lay the chicken breasts out on a clean surface, and spoon some of the spinach mixture onto each one. Roll up chicken to enclose the spinach, then wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks, and arrange in a shallow baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, then increase heat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), or use the oven's broiler to cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to brown the bacon.
