Episode 32 – Chicken fajitas with guacamole and salsa

For the first time in months, I have a co-host! For this episode, I welcome Emily Quetel to the kitchen to share her avocado knowledge with us all. This is a very important step in this episode as I’m making fajitas. What better to accompany good Mexican cuisine than guacamole and fresh salsa? Be sure to check out this episode for the full scoop on how to create a delicious dish for one or the entire family.

Ingredients:

For fajitas:

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • ¼ to ½ red onion
  • Some paprika and Cajun seasoning
  • Dash of salt and pepper
  • Large tortillas

For Salas:

  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 Serrano chili
  • Handful of cilantro
  • Olive oil
  • Dash of salt and pepper

For Guacamole

  • 2 or 3 avocadoes
  • 1 tomato
  • Dash of salt and pepper
  • Dash of garlic salt
  • Lime juice to taste
  • Handful of cilantro

Episode 27 – Beef Taco Skillet

Whenever I see a company pushing recipes that incorporate their particular ingredients, I’m always curious how they will work out. Are the recipes actually any good or are they just an excuse for the product maker to sell more goods.

Campbell’s® has really taken this idea to another level by setting up an entire web site full of recipes using their products. Enter the Campbell’s Kitchen and you are presented with countless options. For this test, I decided to give a recipe a try that sounded like it could be trouble. Find out if my suspicions were right or if I was just being too skeptical of good ol’ Campbell’s.

Episode 26 – Steak Tacos

I’m just going to say it upfront, this is my favorite episode so far. I have made tacos countless times but never have they been as fresh, flavorful and delicious as what I created for this episode. The biggest factor playing into the flavor is without a doubt the fresh tortillas given to me by Nicole Misencik (@NicoleWTHR). As a fellow food lover (and great local meteorologist), Nicole was nice enough to bring back some fresh tortillas from her favorite Mexican restaurant in Phoenix. A huge thanks goes out to her for making this recipe possible.

I even get so excited at the end that I fail to recognize the difference between a lemon and a lime.

Episode 13 – Spicy chicken tacos

In an effort to make at least one healthy dish, we take on some chicken tacos with a surprising result. In only about 15 to 20 minutes, we were rewarded with some very tasty tacos that look good and are good for you. This is definitely a recipe to give a try for those days when you don’t want a heavy meal but you want a tasty treat.

Episode 8 – Tortilla, egg & salsa casserole

Take tortillas, eggs, salsa and cheese and before I even see a recipe, I know I’m in for a treat. Today’s dish is a perfect example of this wonderful combination of tasty ingredients. Some may argue this is not really a casserole but I tend to think of a casserole as a meal that ends up in one dish and that can be eaten directly from the pot or pan without the need for a side dish. Under my personal definition, this dish definitely fits the bill.

In what may be the easiest recipe (besides the Pizza Rolls) yet on Cuisine Made Quick, I fly solo in fixing one of my favorite Mexican breakfast feasts. In about fifteen minutes you can have yourself a hearty and spicy breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Elisabeth was home visiting family during the taping of this episode but she is not without appearance. The episode before this was supposed to be a recipe for a prosciutto and melon burger with sweet potato fries. Needless to say, things did not go as planned for that recipe. Some of the highlights of that failure can be seen in this episode.

As always, if you have a favorite recipe you would like to see us attempt, or if you have video preparing your favorite dish, please leave a comment or send an e-mail to recipes@cuisinemadequick.com.
