Preparation 1.Preheat oven to 425°F.
2.Shred zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Squeeze dry in a clean kitchen towel (you should have about 2 cups). Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, beef, chili powder, onion powder, cumin and salt. Cook, stirring, until the beef is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
3.Spread tortillas out on a baking sheet in two overlapping rows. Bake until hot, 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover.
4.Coat the baking sheet with cooking spray. Place 6 tortillas on a clean cutting board. Working quickly, spread a generous 1/4 cup beef mixture along the bottom third of a tortilla, sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon cheese and tightly roll into a cigar shape. Place the taquito seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, filling and cheese. Generously coat the top and sides of the taquitos with cooking spray.
5.Bake the taquitos until browned and crispy, 14 to 18 minutes.
Tips & Notes Easy cleanup: Recipes that require cooking spray can leave behind a sticky residue that can be hard to clean. To save time and keep your baking sheet looking fresh, line it with a layer of foil before you apply the cooking spray.

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

January 12, 2014 by Kristen Whitby —12 Comments





I have a great recipe to share with you today for the upcoming big game! These are a really yummy twist on the traditional buffalo wings. The spiciness chicken, the crispness of the lettuce and celery, the creaminess of the blue cheese, all put this delicious appetizer up there as one of my all time favorites. And, it really comes together fairly quickly and easily.





You will need:


2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

2 Tbls. butter

1/2 Tbls. olive oil

1/2 cup Franks Wing Sauce

1/2 tsp. celery seed

pepper to taste

1/2 C. thinly sliced celery

blue cheese crumbles

ranch dressing

2 heads of lettuce





In a large pan, cook and shred your chicken {to cook mine, I just put the chicken in the pan with 1/2 cup of water, shredding as it cooks. By the time it is finished cooking, all of the water cooks off}.


Keep the pan on medium heat. Add butter and olive oil, stirring. Add Franks and celery seed. Add pepper to taste. Once sauce begins to be bubbly, remove from heat. Add thinly sliced celery.





Spoon into lettuce leaves, sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and drizzle with a little ranch dressing. Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm. Oh yum.

I have been loving pasta salad now that we're into spring and the veggies are so beautiful. I just throw some grilled chicken in it for extra protein and it's so easy and fast!

What are you using for a dressing?

I prefer an herb based dressing vs creamy. I mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic and shallots, and either dried or fresh herbs of your choice. Super easy and yum and can also be used on salads, fish, chicken, grilled steak, etc. Experiment and enjoy!

Thank you for replies I am going to go to skinnytaste.com I will let you know how it goes

I am loving some of these. We also get tired of the same old thing, but sometimes I am afraid to try something new, usually only I like it. Nice to hear other's opinions on what they've tried and what their families will eat. Thanks, totally following this.
For dressings on pasta salads I even use lite Italian.
