Greek Tacos

YUMMY!!! I mentioned this recipe before, but I am actually posting it now. I made a few variations, like I used ground turkey instead of the chicken, I bought Greek plain yogurt and doctored it up with some cumin, salt pepper and garlic powder, we added feta cheese crumbles, and did not use any lettuce.

I also served this with a side of chick peas. I took a can of them, rinsed well, drained and placed in a pan with a couple swirls of olive oil on medium heat. To this I added a few dashes of cumin, and garlic powder. Then I placed in about a fourth of a jar of roasted red pepper. Cook until it is nicely warmed.

Enjoy!! I know we did!!

  5. I am craving these so bad. I think today I am off to market to come home with the ingredients. Yes, lamb would be so good in this, but seriously, you should try the turkey!

    Brazillian Fish Stew

    i recommend only using 1 onion and 2 bell peppers. dice, not slice the bell peppers. i served it over white rice.... 1 1/2 cup rice, 3 cups water, 2 tbsp butter. simple and allows you to taste the stew.

    i used 6 tilapia, but i'm thinking i need more, or to add shrimp.

    this dish in on the verge of becoming a thai dish. i may have to try to squeeze in some curry next time.

    oh! and i garnished with strips of mango!

    yuuuuumy!!
