Palmolive Soft Touch

So after all the taco making, we have learned that THE BEST detergent to use in order to clean those dirty dishes is Palmolive soft touch. It is absolutely amazing. I have been a hardcore fan of AJAX since birth, but have fell in love with the Palmolive. It cut through grease and grime much easier than any other detergent I have used previously. It smells amazing (like shampoo) and left my hands super soft- The one that I use is Coconut Butter ;-) Just like their slogan says: 

"Palmolive is Tough on Grease, Soft on Hands"!

You can find Palmolive at any of your local Walmart stores or visit the links below :-)

#7: Crunchy Spaghetti Tacos

1pk mixed bell peppers sliced

1 onion (sliced)

1 jalapeno pepper (sliced)

sour cream

shredded cheese (your choice- we used cheddar and monterrey jack)

Slice kielbasa into small pieces. In a pan, begin browning the meat. Add peppers and onions. Once meat, peppers, and onions have become tender turn off heat. In a tortilla shell, spoon in meat mixture. Top with cheese and pico de gallo.

This is definitely a very tasty taco. It's very different than most, but has a nice refreshing flavor!

#4: Beef Tip Taco Salad

After a holiday weekend of barbeque and grilling with friends and family, we decided to try something a little healthier this week. This weekend we created a salad using beef tips and veggies.

Ingredients:
1 pound of beef tips
taco seasoning
1 can black beans
1 can corn
lettuce
tomato
cheese
sour cream
salsa
tortilla chips

In a medium pan, brown beef tips mixed with about 1 to 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. After meat has cooked through and blended with seasoning, mix in corn and black beans (both drained). Let the flavors blend and corn and black beans warm.
On a plate, place tortilla chips. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, beef and veggie mixture, cheese, salsa, and sour cream. Enjoy :-)

#3: The Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger Taco

Just in time for Labor Day Weekend, we created the hamburger masterpiece! Instead of the same old boring routine of grilling hamburgers, we decided to make ours into some pretty delicious tacos :-)

What you need...

1 pound ground hamburger meat

1 2.3 oz bag of bacon pieces

1 cup of shredded cheese

1/2 cup of barbeque sauce

4 flour tortilla shells

oil

yellow mustard

Wicked Wickles (or any other type of sliced pickles)

Curly Fries (or sweet potato fries)

In a small sautee pan, cook hamburger meat. Once the meat is brown, add in barbeque sauce to moisten. Next add in bacon pieces and shredded cheese. Stir well and let simmer on the stove.

In another medium size pan, cover the bottom with oil. Once the oil has heated, fry one tortilla shell at a time- 30 seconds on each side.

Fold the fried tortilla shell into a "U" shape. Place curly fries on the bottom of the shell. Next, spoon on hamburger mixture. Top with yellow mustard and pickles. We even sprinkled a little extra cheese for gooeyness. Makes 4 large tacos!

#2: Lemonade Chicken Tacos

Refreshing lemonade on a hot summer day??? Yes please! This week, we made some super delicious and refreshing chicken tacos made with tart, cold lemonade :-)
 

Ingredients:
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts (cut into bit size pieces)
1 cup lemonade
2 tablespoons safflower oil (or olive oil)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion flakes (or powder)
1 bay leaf
1 jalapeno chopped
1/2 cup onion sliced
1/2 cup green peppers sliced
8 tortilla shells (corn or flour- we used flour)

Toppings:
1 large tomato chopped
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 avocado sliced
Chunky salsa
Sour cream

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine chicken, lemonade, oil, lime juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and bay leaf. After a few minutes, add jalapeno, onions, and green pepper (we like our food spicy). Simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, and juices run clear.
On a plate, place a tortilla shell. Sprinkle cheese onto the bottom of the shell. Spoon on chicken mixture, and top with tomato, cheese, avocado, salsa, and sour cream.

There are a lot of ingredients to this yummy taco, but is a cinch to make!
