Queso Fresco Tacos

The fridge was full with veggies, Queso Fresco, and brand new Tortillas, so it only made sense to make a taco out of it, well make that two. Super simple, super fast, very delicious, and Queso Fresco doesn't have that much fat, so somewhat healthy. I accompanied with, yes, you guessed, a bowl of lentil soup.




Ingredients:
-Queso Fresco
-Pico de Gallo
-Anaheim Pepper
-Radishes
-Avocado
-Cabbage




There's not much more to say about it, other than, it was very tasty.

What Can I Call This?

Today has been a busy, active, day between working on projects, working out, watching animated films(?) ... Busy day! It would have been very easy to eat the delicious Costco Pizza that my brother brought home, because there's so much to do today, but, what's the fun in Pizza a day before the Super Bowl?

Not to mention, it's way too greasy.

So, I went on and made my own... actually, also greasy meal! The irony! It's somewhat, kind of, remotely inspired by a similar Paula Dean recipe that I made quite some years ago. I don't really remember what her recipe had other than Mayo and Potatoes and Broccoli. It probably had a ton of sugar as well. But, what it practically is, is a potato salad - Or is it a coleslaw? I've got no idea!

It pretty much chopped every veggie I had in the fridge (that would go together, of course):

-Cabbage
-Broccoli
-Red Onion
-Yellow Onion
-Tomato
-Celery
-Romaine Lettuce
-Carrot

I also cooked:

-A Potato
-An Egg
-A Poblano Pepper

And then I thinly cut:
-CHEDDAR CHEESE! MMMM! (when making the salad, put it on top of the veggies, then, when your potatoes are done, chop them into tiny squares, and while still hot, drop them on top of the cheese. Paula Dean taught me this!)

The Dressing was a mixture of that Rooster hot sauce, Mayo, rice vinegar, and white vinegar, salt and pepper. I still don't know why the two vinegars, don't ask me. But it was a spicy dressing, very very good.

The end result was very very yummy, very filling. I don't know if in the end it was healthier than Pizza, but, I don't really care. All I care is that I made it, I had fun, and my stomach thanked me.

Now I can go back to finishing my projects, hopefully before it is time to go out!
