No pork
Answers:
Boneless/skinless chicken breast are easy and have lots of uses.
1. Heat some olive oil and garlic in a skillet (either mince up fresh garlic or use garlic powder or salt) dice up the chicken and put in. IN the meantime prepare some al dent (slightly firm) pasta, when the pink is gone from the chicken add in the drained pasta, toss and heat through. You can add mushrooms and any veggies you like. You can add a jar of Al Fredo sauce, if you like.
2. Cook up the diced chicken, when pink is gone, drain it and return to skillet and add a packet or two of fajita or taco seasoning, toss through and heat through. Serve on tortillas with your favorite toppings.
3. You can cook the breast up whole, either grill and start basting with your favorite BBQ sauce, serve with baked taters and corn on the cob. You can cook these in a skillet too if you don't want to grill, when the pink starts to disappear start coating with BBQ sauce and turn and do the other side.
Ground beef
1. Always easy to do taco, just cook up, drain and add an envelope or two of seasoning. Serve on soft or hard shells. With soft shells I like to sometimes take a skillet, add a touch of oil and cook the plain toritlla a bit on each side, gets it nice and crunchy.
2. Taverns or loosemeats are easy. Cook up the burger, drain, add salt and pepper, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, horseradish and a couple shakes of Worchesteir sauce. I don't really follow recipe here because it just depends on how you like them. I like mine spicy so I add extra horseradish sauce, but if you like them sweeter add more brown sugar, adding more ketchup makes them saucey, it just depend on how you like them. Just keep tasting and remember adding a little bit at a time and finding out you need more is easy to fix but if say you add too much mustard that is hard to correct, so just add a little and if you want more add it.
