VEGGIE FAJITAS or CHICKEN FAJITAS
{Slice green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion and some garlic and sautee in a little oil over medium heat. I like to add portabella mushrooms too! Add in a touch of your fave salsa and continue to sautee until soft.
Have flour tortillas - sour cream - salsa - cilantro - and cheese for topping.
And a side of 1/2 mashed black beans spiced up with cayenne, salt and pepper, and some salsa.}
or
CAPRESE SALAD on FOCACCIA with BALSAMIC REDUCTION (And Grilled Chicken, if you wish)
{Put 1.5 cups of balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp. sugar in a sauce pan on medium heat and bring to boil. Reduce to medium/low heat and simmer for 20-25 mins until syrupy.
CHILL in the fridge.
Slice FRESH mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, FRESH basil leaves and arrange on focaccia. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic reduction.
