Taco Tuesday has gone flat...

*disclaimer: tonight's post is a complete hodge-podge...

If you caught my earlier "menu" post, you would have seen that Tuesday nights are deemed Taco Tuesday at our house. This night consists of various Mexican meals throughout the month (and of course tacos). I was inspired by the Mexican Flat bread recipe posted by The Pioneer Woman. I made a simple rendition that turned out super tasty and was super easy!

My Mexican Flat bread

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. I then began with a multi-grain flat bread (I placed a piece of foil on my pan for easy cleanup). I then mashed some pintos...simply because I thought I had a can of refried beans, but must have used them at some point. I spread the pintos onto the flat bread. I then sprinkled a single layer of black beans. While I was completing these tasks, I was cooking my chicken breast. I cooked it on the stove top with a dusting of salt, pepper and cumin. Once it was cooked through, I cut it into small chunks. I sprinkled the chunks over the beans. I then took a delicious heaping pile of cheese and spread it evenly over top. I placed the flat bread in the oven for 10-15 minutes (until the cheese is melted and bubbly.)

I took it out, let it cool for just a couple minutes and then sliced it. A dollop of sour cream and I was enjoying a wonderfully yummy meal. I will be making this again!


All of this was great fun...which was needed considering the rest of my evening has been a giant list of "to-dos". With tomorrow being our last day before our lengthy road trip, we still have a lot to do. We have a lot of packing...my hubby's deer to process...and some other odds and ends before we can leave early Thursday morning. ::sigh::

I've made a list...and I'll be checking it twice.

Before the non-stop motion of this evening, I did take a few minutes to savor the beautiful view of fall from my front porch. More than likely these beautiful hues will no longer be hanging on the trees when we return...I'll miss their splendor.

I hope you too will take some time to enjoy this beautiful season of change and promise.
