Mediterranean Chicken Tacos
I had my blender out last week making lots of smoothies, a few snacks and other yummy treats. (Like this one minute ice cream.) I always seem to use my blender in “spurts.” I use it all the time when it’s out, but as soon as I put it back into the cabinet, it stays there for several weeks.
Anyway, I wanted to do a little recipe experiment since I still had the blender out. The kids love to snack on hummus, and I wanted to test out an idea to make a shortcut hummus recipe. (Not that hummus is difficult to make- did you catch my spice white bean hummus recipe from a few weeks ago? Hubby devoured that one; kids barely got any, lol!)
This new recipe turned out really good! I combined a can of garbanzo beans, a bit of Wish-Bone Italian Dressing (I drizzled it in until I was happy with the consistency), a spoonful of raw red bell pepper, and a pinch of Turmeric in the blender. The Hummus was a hit with everyone! It was not spicy at all and even had a touch of sweetness from the red bell pepper and dressing.
Taco Night
Tacos make a frequent appearance on the dinner menu at our house. They’re so simple to throw together, and everyone likes them. Since I’d made a double batch of this hummus, I had a great idea for a fun twist on Taco Night: Mediterranean-style chicken tacos!
My secret to getting these delicious tacos on the table in just a few minutes is using Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken and TortillaLand Flour Tortillas. The Tortillaland tortillas are the kind that come uncooked, but they heat up on the stovetop in about a minute and taste so much better than the ready-to-eat ones!
