In honor of taco Tuesday, I thought I’d to a taco themed post. That is, a post where I talk about how we make ‘tacos’. You’d think that since I have a moderate stock-pile of ground turkey, I’d just use that. Nope. That takes planning and shit, and during the week I don’t really have the attention span for planning. My solution? Everything from a can tacos. It’s easy and all you have to do is open a bunch of cans and heat them up. Plus add whatever taco shell tickles your fancy. I like this particular dinner because it requires virtually no effort, tastes okayish, and includes vegetables (fruit – actually, tomatoes are fruit). Anyhow, here it is so I can continue being lazy and cooking dinner that’s actually not everything from a can tacos (chicken in the oven, I’m just sitting here waiting for the thingy to ding and tell me it’s time to get off my ass, grab another beer and then point at the food and exclaim CHILDREN, YOU’VE BEEN FED BE THANKFUL YOU DON’T LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX YET!)
What you need:
- 1-2 Cans of chicken breast
- 1 can of diced green chilies (mild or hot to taste)
- 1 can of fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 diced onion (I know this isn’t from a can, but this is essential so cope)
- 1 small can of salsa verde
- 1 can of black beans (drain)
- 1 can sliced olives
- 1 package of taco seasoning
Directions:
Mix it up in a deep pan and heat until heated. Do whatever it is you normally do with taco shells and serve.
You are a cook after my own heart. I have a very close relationship with my can opener…
