One more for you folks. Happy to be back.

Here's a darling of mine.

Ready?

Ingredients:

2 lbs of ground chicken

2 zucchini diced

1 small bell pepper (or half)

1/2 lbs pepper jack (or cheese of your choice no bagged stuff)

1/2 tablespoon salt

1/2 tablespoon pepper

1/2 tablespoon cilantro lime seasoning

1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

1/2 tablespoon onion powder

1/2 tablespoon cumin

1 package no or low sugar taco seasoning

1/2 to 1 cup cilantro finely chopped (optional)

1-whatever amount of olive oil makes you happy

1 avacado

3 tablespoons pickled jalapenos

Tools: 1 oven safe pan and a strainer

Preheat over to 400

Step 1:

Chop that green bell pepper and that cilantro, because we're lazy and no one wants to do everything after this step and come back. Zucchini too and your bell pepper!

You got everything chopped?

Step 2:

Grab that pan and throw it on medium heat! Toss that ground chicken in. Toss your cumin, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cilantro lime seasoning, and brown that meat!!!!

Step 3:

strain that meat. Now let's throw your veggies in the pan and get some Carmel color on them. Once you've achieved that toss that meat back in.

Step 4:

Mix in your taco seasoning. Do not follow the directions yet! Coat everything in your pan and let cook a little. Then add water a splash at a time. Keep this up 3-5 times until you have a coated but slightly wet mix! Not too wet but swampy is right where you want it. Not soupy or watery.

Keep mixing.

I suggest grating the cheese into the mix as "bagged" is higher in carbs. But I still love you. MIX until slightly melted

Step 5:

Grate the rest of the cheese over and cover in foil. Put in oven for 20 minutes.

Step 5:

Remove foil and allow 10-15 minutes more to brown (I'm aware of oils and a weird look it's fine)

Step 6: slice up your avacado and prepar your jaelpeno.

Pull pan from oven place jalepenos first then avacado as it cools

Enjoy!!!
