'Tortilla Trend' Omelette

May 13, 2022 Amanda Plott

There’s this trend going around right now called the ‘Tortilla Trend’ where you take a tortilla and cut it halfway through the middle and then proceed to fill each quarter segment of it with different things and then fold it over on itself to make a tasty wrap. I decided to take that idea and make into more of an omelette with some of my favorite breakfast burrito fillings.

This 'Tortilla Trend' Omelette is pretty easy to make though it does take a little bit of know-how and a gentle hand when it comes to the folding it over, but outside of that this is just as easy as any standard omelette to make!…

Air Fryer Breakfast Taquito

January 8, 2020 Amanda Plott

Sometimes you just need a nice warm breakfast to get you going in the morning, and recently since I’ve fallen in love with lavash bread, I decided to try my hand at using the lavash to make a breakfast taquito! Being as I tend to be a lot more of a savory breakfast person, rather than a sweet breakfast person, breakfast taquitos are pretty much my jam.

Normally breakfast taquitos are made with flour tortillas, but the lavash bread gives me a lot more bang for my buck, if you know what I mean. (It’s fewer calories and whole wheat!) Even though it’s still pretty chilly outside in the mornings, I figured the air fryer would be a quicker and easier way to get my breakfast taquito hot all the way through…

Taco Salad Splits

November 12, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s cold outside! It’s so cold and frosty that school was delayed, and while it’s cold and not much else to do, my creative juices always kick into high gear. Today I decided to make some cute Taco Salad Splits with the bonus time that I had gifted to me by the weather.

So what’s a Taco Salad Split? Well, it’s a taco take on a banana split. Don’t worry, I’m not making tacos with bananas. But I am making these taco salads LOOK like banana splits.

This is probably the cutest way possible to make and eat your taco salad by the way…

Southwest Couscous Salad

September 7, 2018 Amanda Plott

I love couscous. I love it in traditional form and I love it Israeli style too. What's the difference though? Traditional couscous is smaller grained and the Israeli one is more of a 'pearl' couscous. Small little beads of 'pasta' that are extremely versatile and can be amazingly delicious!

The lunchtime struggle is real, and I know it is. I've found that if I don't have something prepared ahead of time for lunch, that I'll often go without or end up eating a less than stellar choice. With couscous being one of my favorite things, and pasta salad on the mind, I thought it would be a great time to make a couscous 'pasta' salad!…

Baja Chicken Tacos (Crock Pot or Instant Pot)

June 7, 2018 Amanda Plott

If you haven't noticed by now... I'm not exactly a fan of sea food.

Yikes! I know, I know... one of the leanest proteins and I won't eat it. And, to top it off... I have absolutely no reason as to why I don't like it. I lived on the Oregon coast for five years during my childhood and I can still count on one hand the amount of times that I've eaten seafood knowingly.

It's strictly mental. I can't say that it's the taste, texture, allergy or anything else. I just can't bring myself to eat seafood.

That being said, it's still ocean week here over at my house and I wanted to give this recipe a bit of an update in the looks department. Don't worry though! I haven't change the recipe at all…

Mexican Street Corn & Zucchini Nachos

March 12, 2017 Amanda Plott

Mexican street corn is almost a staple here in Texas. It's perfectly roasted and smoky corn goodness that's covered in spices and cheese. Heaven in the form of corn. Today though, I wanted to take that corn amazingness and move it a step forward into some nachos! These nachos aren't your average nachos either. They're a full blown meal in one. Hearty and loaded up with plenty of vegetables and bursting with flavor.

The zucchini is a perfect pairing to the corn. It's sweet and adds just enough texture to the nachos to not leave you missing meat. That's right. These are vegetarian too and bean-less. It's really a great 'warm weather' dish since it's light but also really filling without weighing you down...
