Meatless Taco Tuesday



Sometimes when I get home late from work, all I want to do is scrounge up a bag of chips and make a plate of nachos ... although, we all know that is NOT the smartest move ... 


And then, when I'm running behind schedule, or just plain tired after leaving the office to go straight to the gym and then home to make dinner, I have a tendency to NOT follow the recipe, but usually, things turn out right, just depends on what you expectations may be at that very moment!

Either way, these were good, and it was an excellent way to use up the bag of coleslaw I had hanging around in the fridge ... 


 Ready to find out what you need and how to do it?

2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
3 tsp cumin 
1 bag of coleslaw mix
1 lime
2 tsp olive oil
2 wedges Laughing Cow Queso and chipolte
8 corn tortillas
cilantro, finely chopped, optional


Empty the beans into a small bowl and add the cumin. Lightly mash beans and set aside.

In another bowl, add lime and oil, lightly mix. Dump the bag of coleslaw and toss (with clean hands) to coat. Set aside.



Take a griddle and place over medium heat. Add a little oil and let heat up.

In the meantime, spread each of the 8 tortillas with a 1/4 of the wedge of cheese. Add tortilla to griddle (cheese side UP) and add about a 1/4 cup on bean mix.


Fold over in half and allow to cook til one side is golden brown, flip and continue til golden brown.

Remove to board while you fix the rest.

When ready to serve, open each up gently and toss in a generous amount of coleslaw mix. Garnish with cilantro if using and serve up.

Princess came in and was like "yummm...what are those!?" even though she had just eaten! She ate 2 ... Hubby ate 4 I ate 2 ... I seriously don't think Hubby missed his usual protein, MEAT and they were pretty filling!



ENJOY!

    Those look delicious. I love meatless tacos and we use tortillas in a variety of ways to make them meatless, which is much cheaper than buying beef for tacos these days. I watched a DVD by Mary McDougall (plant based diet) and she mixes lime with her coleslaw for tacos too. I've had it on my to do list for a while now. Definitely going to have to try it soon.

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
