Did you catch the recipe from Meatless Monday?

Savory Onion-Roasted Veggies



The second section of Weeknight Dinners is
Tex-Mex Night.

There are so many good recipes to chose from. 
But, I figured since I have a recipe published in this chapter, 
I would share mine with you!
It's a quick and easy recipe ....
I know it's not the most attractive dish, 
so don't let the looks be deceiving...
....because the taste is delicious!

Potatoes and Chicken Sante Fe
4 medium potatoes, cut in to 3/4 - 1 inch cubes 
and microwaved for 8 - 10 minutes until tender
I leave the skins on.
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in to 3/4 inch cubes
2 TBSP olive oil
1 cup salsa
1 small can or 1 cup of corn
(I use frozen, thawed)
While potatoes cook, in a large skillet toss and brown chicken
in oil over high heat for 5 minutes.
Add potatoes; saute and toss until potatoes are lightly browned.
Add salsa and corn, stir until heated through.
Serves 4



And that's it folks. 
Simple, but delicious!

I thought I'd toss in another recipe for you too. 
Have you ever made your own Taco Seasoning?
This is a great recipe that I also found in the 
Tex-Mex Night section of this wonderful cookbook.
This 'spice' can be used for Taco's,
to season chicken, or add to dips.
The uses are endless!

Mix-Your-Own Taco Spice
2 T chili powder
1 T. ground cumin
2 t. salt
2 t. pepper
1 t. paprika
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. onion powder
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. red pepper flakes

In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients.
Store in a small covered jar. 
Makes about 1/3 cup
