Not
much to explain here, we all know of tacos. I created this dish as a
way to use up some extra salsa I had. It turned out so moist and
flavorful that every time I make my salsa I put some aside for this
tacos. The recipe is not very complex and is more about what you have
sitting around so don’t worry if you need to modify it a little.
Tacos
Meat
1 Pound boiled Chicken meat (I use the thighs but any meat is fine just make sure bones are removed)
1 ½ Cups Salsa Quemada (This salsa is my choice as it has a perfect blend of spice and freshness)
1 Tbs Fresh crushed oregano
1 tsp Chile flakes
1 tsp cumin
1 Tbs olive oil
Condiments
Greens (I used spinach)
Cheese
Avocado Cut into thin strips
And tortillas (I highly recommend the la tortilla factory hand made style white corn tortillas)
In
skillet heat up oil on med high heat. Toss in chicken, chili flakes,
cumin, oregano and ¾ cup Salsa. Fry for about 5 min, stirring until most
of the moisture from the salsa is gone. Add the remaining ¾ cup of
salsa, mix for a min or two to make sure it is hot then place on warm
tortillas add your choice of toppings. Makes about 8 tacos.

As I was doing some research on how to grow a avocado tree that I
showed you in yesterdays blog, I ran into a picture on wikipedia of a
Indonesian Avocado Shake. Safe to say that blew my mind, I never heard
of a avocado shake. I had to read up on it and its a popular drink made
many different ways from coffee to chocolate. Before I knew it I was in
the store buying avocados, there was not going to be any sleeping for me
tell I have tried this drink. I got all the ingredients and got
started.
Indonesian Avocado Shake with Choc Syrup
1 Cup crushed Ice
5 Tbs Sugar
½ Can La Lache (7oz)
3 Tbs Water
2 Avocados
Choc Syrup
Throw
everything in blender and mix until smooth about 1 min. Run some choc
syrup around the inside of the glass and let it run down side. Fill the
Glass with Avocado Mix and top with a little more syrup. Makes 2 8oz
glasses
So
there we have it, all I had left was the tasting, The texture was
wonderful smooth and creamy the choc and La lache did not take away from
the avocado flavor they worked together in a way that I did not expect.
Personally I would have to say it was a nice experience but to me I
would keep my avocados out of the desert dishes and back in the salads,
sandwiches and sushi. I would make this again for friends to experience
but it is not my cup of tea.
