It's National Taco Day

2017-11-03

Anyone who follows my blogs or articles knows I love soup! Soups are the best food in the world in my opinion. So bear with me as I share more soup recipes for your pleasure. Try this Basic Chicken Noodle Soup that cooks in your crockpot or slowcooker while you are busy or away. Oyster Stew is not for everyone but if you are fond of oysters, give this simple stew a try. The Mushroom Bisque is from my diabetic blog but is not a "diabetic" recipe.When your favorite watering hole on Calle Uruguay gets a little too smoky and full, take a breather. Get your hand stamped and visit the band of brothers that bring happiness to so many, while asking for so little in return. I recommend the slow cooker chicken tacos. And if you are feeling really daring, try getting it with the thin, fried plantain shell. It's a little more messy, but oh so good! The negative side is that most bars and clubs won't let you enter with the food, but most items can be downed quickly enough that that shouldn't be a problem. Afterwards, you have an excuse to go back for another bottle to wash it all down.The chipotle grilled taco chicken was tasty, but very sweet, which was not what we were expecting. So if you want a spicier meal, do not choose this meal option. There are also many varieties of enchiladas, such as shredded beef or sweet pork. As with the tacos, patrons have the option of a flour or corn tortilla and it is then topped with cheese, hot, medium (which is a sweet sauce) or mild sauce. It then comes with coriander and lime rice and black or pinto beans. The prices range from $4.75 for small portions to $7.49 for some of the larger enchiladas. Again, these prices exclude tax.Emphasize slow cooker chicken taco recipes and planned over meals, using only a couple of ingredients from your shopping list. For example, a large package of ground beef on sale can be meat loaf, hamburgers, and chili during the week. One large cooked chicken has enough leftovers for a hotdish and barbecue or stir-fry.To chicken taco filling recipes and current students of Virginia Tech, there is a second Cabo in Blacksburg, VA. I've heard each one is better than the other, so leave comments if you have been to one or both!
