Taco Salads


I made these Taco Salads with leftover prime rib, and I must say, they were delicious.  I also got to try out my Tortilla Bake Pans for the bowls and that was fun. They really do work.  I don't know if any of you are like me, but I love seeing all of those as seen on TV things at the stores.  We are constantly looking at them to see what is new.  Anyway on to the recipe.


Taco Salads


Ingredients:

1/4 cup chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 lbs cut up cooked beef cut up ( I used prime rib)
3 TB vegetable oil
4 flour tortillas ( I use low carb tortillas ) or already baked bowls

For salad
lettuce
cheese
guacamole
sour cream
salsa
Chipolte Ranch Dressing

Directions

Mix the chili powder, garlic powder,  cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a bowl and set aside.

Put your oil in a frying pan and heat it over medium heat

Add your cut up beef and stir slightly, then stir in your spices.


Cook the meat in the spices for about 15 minutes.

Then remove from heat.

Then bake your tortilla bowls or 


Next put the meat in the bowls


And add the rest of the fixings to make the salad the way you want it.  I have given a few of the ingredients above that I like in  my salad.  (lettuce, cheddar cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and chipolte ranch dressing)

You are ready to go.


This makes 4 Taco Salads

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do.  It is really easy to make and a great way to use leftovers.  I always love hearing from you.

Enjoy!!!

Cranberry Lychee Martini for Friday's Happy Hour


I made this Cranberry Lychee martini at my cousins house at Christmas time.  We went to a huge Christmas Party at my cousin Patty's house, and it was so much fun.  I got to see my mom's side of the family, and they certainly know how to through a party.  It was fun seeing all of my cousins, but especially my Aunt Celia (90), My Uncle Ed (94), and my Uncle Ralph (92).  They are so cute and so sweet.  They were telling all kinds of stories about when they were kids growing up in Cleveland, and then moving to California.  I love old family stories.  

 Anyway on to our drink of the day.  My cousin had a Lychee Vodka, so we experimented and this drink was delicious.

 Cranberry Lychee Martini

 Ingredients:

 4 oz Kai Lychee Vodka
4 oz cranberry juice

 Directions:

 Add ice to a martini shaker, or a large glass

 Add the vodka and cranberry juice to the martini shaker

 Shake or stir well until well chilled.

 Pour into 2 Martini Glasses and Serve.

 I hope you enjoy this drink.  I have had a hard time finding the Kai Lychee Vodka in Denver, but if you  can find it, this is a great drink.  If you can't find it, you could do Lychee juice and cranberry juice as an alternative.  I always love hearing from you.

 Enjoy!!!
