Chipotle Shrimp Quesadilla

Last night was another night where I would be home late since I had a pilates session scheduled for after work. Joe had the great idea of trying to create shrimp quesadillas. I was totally up for the challenge and if you can't tell we just love Mexican food. I think I could survive off Mexican food, fro yo and pizza, I know real healthy!
I started off the meal with caramelizing some onions in a pan. Once the onions were a nice golden brown I added the shrimp and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to the pan. I added the whole can of chipotle peppers which may not have been necessary since they were a little spicy.

This mixture alone over some brown rice would be delicious.

Once everything was cooked I spread some guacamole (I guess I didn't get my fix the other night) onto a whole wheat tortilla then added some of the shrimp mixture and topped it with reduced fat Mexican cheese. 

Once I got everything on to the Foreman grill I added the top tortilla and cooked for about 5 minutes until the tortillas were crispy.

I had some refried beans as a side dish to this delicious meal. The quesdaillas were a little messy but for a first try with this recipe they were very tasty!

 Question: What is your favorite Mexican dish?



I Just Can't Get Enough Guac!

Last night for dinner I decided to make some chicken fajitas because I was craving guacamole. Since I was going to be home a little later last night it was a quick and easy meal that I could throw together. PLus since I was meeting wiht my trainer I knew I would be starving after my workout.

I started off with cooking the chicken which Joe cut up in small pieces in a nonstick pan. I quickly added peppers and onions to the same pan.

Once the chicken was cooked I added a packet of the Old El Paso fajita seasoning mix, this is by far my favorite fajita mix. I added about 1/2 cup of water with the seasoning and let that cook together and thicken for about five minutes. Once the consistency of the sauce was good it was time to create our fajitas.

 

On my fajitas I layered some guacamole onto the heated tortilla then topped them with the chicken and veggie mixture and finished them off by adding a little reduced fat Mexican cheese. This dinner was delicious and satisfied my guacamole craving.

Kansas Bound

I am blogging from the airport right now as I wait for my flight to Kansas City. I am on my way to a conference for work and had some time to kill before my flight so I decided to grab a glass of wine and dinner. I was able to find a Fox Sports Bar & Grill which was actually decent.

I went with a glass of Pinot Grigio (sorry no picture) and a chipotle quesadilla which was surprisingly tasty. I am obsessed with anything that involves guacamole lately so I had to go with this.

I am off to board my flight now so hopefully I will be able to get a few posts in while I am away.

Question: Where are some fun places you have gone for work?

The last conference I had to go to for work was in Chicago which is my favorite city so I am not too sure Kansas will live up to that.
