I'm posting this recipe on a Thursday because I think it's a great weekend recipe. Now, before you take one look at the ingredients list and tell me to screw off...STOP! Take a good look at the ingredients. They're mainly spices...many of which you probably already have. I myself only had to buy a couple, and spices are simple to pick up in the grocery store. The ingredients for the dressing also make the list seem a bit longer, but that dressing was SIMPLE to mix together, and it was VERY good. At first, I wasn't gonna mess with the dressing, I was just gonna throw my usual sour cream on top, but I am so glad I made it. It adds so much to the tacos. I made it earlier in the afternoon so it could chill in the fridge for awhile, and I also measured out all the spices and mixed them together in a little dish that had a lid earlier in the afternoon as well. Saved a TON of time when it came to actually making dinner. Everything has to get thrown together in the same pan anyway, so might as well mix the spices out earlier if you can.
Overall, this was a great recipe, and one that I absolutely recommend trying. Do NOT be scared off by that long ingredient list...it's harmless, I promise :) In the meantime, I still have a few more days before I'll be back in my kitchen cooking again...I'm thinking by next Monday. Currently, my kitchen looks like this...
the movers are here now as I type this loading the truck. We'll be heading up to Charleston tomorrow to get the keys to the house and do a little cleaning before the movers arrive Saturday morning, so you probably won't be hearing from me for the next couple days. I like to have everything unpacked with 48 of moving into a new house (there's nothing worse than living out of boxes IMO), so I'll be one busy chica. Well...have a great weekend guys, and I be back with more recipes as soon as I can!
