Tasty Tacos…

We somehow seem to have a ton of tomatoes to use up.  I have two favorite ways I LOVE to use fresh tomatoes from the market.  The first is in homemade pasta sauce ~ think tomato, basil, garlic, olive oil ~ YUM!  The second is in salsa.  Tonight I whipped up a batch of Salsa Mexicana using 2 heirloom tomatoes, 2 orange tomatoes and a few cherry tomatoes.  The results were pretty fantastic.  I am definitely seeing salsa eggs in my future!

Ok, that was about the only fancy part of tonight’s dinner 🙂  I whipped up some tacos for a quick and tasty dinner.  The Husband actually was shocked and way too happy that I used Trader Joe’s 96% lean beef versus ground turkey.  It’s what we had in the freezer so in keeping with using it up, I had to 😀 LOL….

I started off with a little Salsa Mexicana topped with Avocado.

 

I really think that whenever you make tacos that you need to make a cheesy quesadilla too.  I took two corn tortillas and topped them with pepperjack cheese ~ The Husband got 1/2 and I got 1/2 – cheesy good!

I had TWO soft corn tacos.

Salsa Mexicana and AVOCADO!

A sprinkle of Tillamook PepperJack Cheese

 

All together it was a fun dinner to eat ~ I LOVE it when my plate is full and I get to work my way around to eat it all.  Maybe I have outgrown beef because it didn’t taste as good to me as ground turkey, chickpeas or black beans….surprising!

For dessert I had a Peppermint Patty.

Now it’s time for Shark After Dark!  Yup, I am STILL hooked on Shark Week! LOL.  I think I may attempt to crack open my Amazing Adventures of Diet Girl book too!

Nite all ~ so glad tomorrow is Friday & it’s a 1/2 day for me ~ Yahoo!
