Ground Beef Tacos
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup Pace Pacanta Sauce (not chunky) OR your fav salsa
1/2 tsp ground cummin
1/2 ground Cheyenne
8-12 corn tortillas
Shredded Cheese
1 cup loosely packed cilantro, chopped
4 Limes
2 cups shredded cabbage OR lettuce (optional)
Chop onion. Add 1/4 of the onion and 1/4 of the cilantro and the beef to a skillet. Sprinkle on cummin and cheynne. Stiring frequently, brown beef, crumble. Drain. Return to skillet, add in sauce. Heat through.
Meanwhile, add rest of onion and cilantro, juice of 1 lime, 1 tbsp of lime zest, and 1 tsp of salt to a bowl. Mix together.
Heat tortillas in microwave in a paper towel for about 1 minute or until hot. (OR heat with a small amount of oil on in a pan, keep warm in a warmer)
To assemble tacos: tortilla, beef mixture, cilantro mixture, cabbage, cheese, and a dash of fresh squeezed lime juice.
Chicken Florentine Lasagna
2 boxes (one lb, about 16 pieces) of packaged or fresh lasagna noodles, cooked el dente
16 oz ricotta cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 cup of three Italian cheese blend (Romano, parmesan, mozzarella)
2 tsp each salt and pepper
4 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar/mozzarella mix, or Italian mix)
2 jars/cans of favorite alfredo/cheese sauce
1 lb cooked diced chicken
1 cup diced mushrooms
1 cup spinach, sliced
Mix ricotta, egg, salt, pepper, spinach, and 1 cup of Italian blend cheese in a mixing bowl. In a 9x13 pan, spread a light layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan. Next, put a layer of noodles - about 4 noodles slightly overlapping. Scoop small spoonfuls of ricotta mixture on noodles (no need to spread, it will melt). Top with sauce, chicken, mushroom, and cheese. Repeat two more times. Last, add another layer of noodles, sauce and shredded cheese.
Bake at 350, covered with foil, in the oven until warm - about 40 minutes. If desired, take foil off for the last 10 minutes to brown cheese.
NOTE: for a little less fat, calories and richness, omit ricotta mixture.
