Mmmmmmmm....Mexican Food! My favorite kind of food. It's more like comfort food to me. So I'm busting out all of my favorite things Mexican; beans, rice, salsa, and tacos! Not to mention that my husband is an even bigger lover for Mexican food.
Just to get your mouth watering before we even start... here is a glimpse of what is to come! (I'm not a photographer so I just hold the camera and click haha but let's be honest...none of us actually prepare our food super fancy all the time. Especially when we just want to shove our faces full of the deliciousness.)
And trust me...it not only looks better but smells great in person! Okay let's get started. First let me share a few of my favorite side dishes I have on my plate.
The rice! Totally easy but by far the best rice from a box. Now if I want to spend a little longer in the kitchen I could whip up some nice homemade Spanish rice but...ehhh why reinvent the wheel!
Next, my favorite thing in the world! And I really am not joking. There is one grocery store by me that sells these beans and I buy it by the case load. I don't know what I would do without them. They are the smoothest, best flavored refried beans ever!
And lastly the salsa. Check out my post on the Mango Salsa. It is to die for.
Now for the Won Ton Tacos. If you have never worked with Won Tons before you are going to fall in love.
1. The first thing you need is shredded chicken. Nope! Don't reach for your frozen chicken and start boiling! I have an idea for you. Pick up a nice rotisserie chicken and shred it. It will actually give you enough for this recipe and more meals in the future. Like a nice chicken sandwich tomorrow :)
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl mix together your chicken, BBQ sauce, Sesame dressing, and your chopped cilantro.
3. Now you just have to put it together. Take some Won Tons and lightly brush one side with olive oil. This will be the side facing outwards when you make the taco look. So after you brush the olive oil on one side place that side down on your baking sheet.
4. Next place a spoon full of you chicken in the middle of the Won Ton from one corner to the other corner. Then sprinkle some cheese on top.
6. Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until they start turning brown.
