Mom’s cooking advice




Don’t worry too much about cooking. Try new things and have fun with it. The best rule for cooking is to cook. The more you try things and get experience the more you’ll feel comfortable with what you are doing. Sure you’ll make a lot of mistakes. Don’t forget the first week I was married. I dumped every meal down the drain.

One of my best resources for recipes is the internet. You can Google almost anything and get the recipe you’re looking for.



Enjoy cooking

Travel south of the border in less than a half hour with this at-home Mexican supper.



Ingredients

  • 1 chicken breast cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
  • 1 teaspoon Taco Seasoning
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 bell peppers (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 flour tortillas (6-inch)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
  •  reduced-fat sour cream, for serving 
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Arrange chicken on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil; rub with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with taco seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Broil, without turning, until chicken is opaque throughout, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside.
  2. On another rimmed baking sheet lined with foil, toss peppers, onion, garlic, and remaining tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes.
  3.  Stack and wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel; microwave on high until warm, about 1 minute. Transfer chicken and pepper mixture to a platter, and serve with tortillas, cilantro, sour cream, and lime wedges.
