Simple Cinco....

So we went for a simple, but classic Tex-Mex star for last night's dinner:  Chicken Fajitas!!  They are always so easy and good (and fairly healthy, minus the sour cream & cheese;), that we both wondered last night why we don't make them more often...like, once a week:) hahahahahhaha

We started by chopping up the vegetables...ahhhhh, signs of summer!  My cutting board looked SO BEAUTIFUL!

Next, Scott coated the chicken in (the not so Mexican:) Belize BBQ mixture and cooked them on the grill.  Then he samaria-ed them into strips!  Just check it out, the knife and fork were FLYIN!!:) ...

I cooked the peppers & an onion in a little garlic and olive oil until they were soft...and tossed in the chicken for a quick mix once it was off the grill...

I got our fajita toppins lined up on the porch....which, I might add, was one of the most GORGEOUS nights to eat outside! Thanks weather! Can we keep that humidity away permanently???? :)

And finally, we got to layerin these bad bears!  First with Tortilla Press BEST EVER guacamole, then the peppers, onions, chicken, some sour cream and a little sprinkle of cheese.  All wrapped in my lovely 80 cal. LaTortilla Factory tortillas..DELISH!!!

And as our side, our frequent summer side dish: Grilled Zucchini "ribbons."  I just peel the zucchini with a wire cheese slicer, coat them in a little olive oil and some sea salt and grill till crispy.  These are healthy, quick & delicious...and puts to use that GLORIOUS fresh spring/summer produce! 

After dinner, we had another *NOT QUITE MEXICAN, BUT SORTA/KINDA CLOSE* treat:)  We had a couple squares from the chocolate bar we had got in Grenada.  It was bitter, then sweet, then back to bitter:)  Quite an interesting chocolate experience:)
Well, I'm on my own for dinner tonight since Scott has to stay late at work for a meeting.  I've already had about 40 ideas about what I could make for dinner:) hahahahhahahaa....we'll see which one I actually narrow it down too:)

Hope it's as gorgeous wherever you are, as it's been in NJ!!  Perfect weather:)
