Mexican Street Style Chicken Tacos

I’m so happy I got this post up just in time for Cinco De Mayo! If you follow me on social media, you know my love for Tacos runs DEEP! So much so that I make Mexican Style Street Tacos once a week for my family, no matter what! Eating these tacos always take me back to vacations in Mexico, walking the streets and finding stall after stall selling these amazing tacos! No advertising needed, I mean the smells just waft you towards them! I serve mine with Homemade Mexican Rice and Beans (authentic and super easy recipe coming soon). Go crazy and add any toppings you like, but onion, cilantro, and lime are authentic. You won’t find lettuce and cheese in your tacos when in Mexico! Enjoy Guys!

Greek Lemon Chicken Kabob with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

I’ve been yearning to share this recipe for a while now and I am just now getting to it! Better late than never right? These Greek Kabobs are quick, easy to make and super healthy! Seriously! What more could you ask for in a dish right? Kabobs of different variations are on rotation every two weeks or so in my household. If you don’t have lemons on hand, use limes! I have used both and the dish turns out great either way! You could place the skewers over a salad or in a pita pocket for a quick lunch or light dinner. I placed them on a bed of couscous this time but they also taste great with Naan or Lavash, the options are truly endless! The yogurt sauce is one I make and bottle up for my friends and family because they cannot get enough, we enjoy spice so I blend jalapeno into it as well! Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think!

Tandoori Chicken Tzatziki Pita Pockets

Tandoori Chicken Tzatziki Pita Pockets

These Tandoori Chicken Tzatziki Pita Pockets are perfect for a quick weeknight meal or even lunch. I often whip these up ahead of time and assemble them at the last minute when I’m in a hurry. The Tzatziki will stay fresh in the fridge (in an airtight sealed container) for upwards of one week although in my house it’s usually gone in a few days. Grill a batch of the tandoori chicken a few days ahead, and it can re-purposed for other dishes as well as this one. Make-ahead dishes are my favorite, time is very precious and unpredictable due to the baby, therefore make-ahead meals are definitely a lifesaver when those hunger pangs hit. I find that the Tandoori Chicken and Tzatziki complement each other very well, the cucumber and onion garnish gives the dish a welcome freshness and sumac closes the dish out with a much-needed zing! Fusion food is amazing when it works so well together, just like Indian Chinese and in this case Indian Greek. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Lip Smackin’ Chicken Francese

Chicken Francese is one dish that I always order at an Italian restaurant if it’s on the menu. I have tried for years to recreate the recipe at home but until now I just could not replicate that tantalizing buttery lemony taste. After some tweaking here and there I believe we have a winner! I had my sister in law (who by the way is Italian) try it and she approved as well!
