Messiest Cook EVER

Another successful dinner for a meat eating husband and a veggie eating me!  I made fajitas last night and not only was it a big success in taste, it was super easy to make and had us both very happy and full!

First I sauteed up some onions and green and red peppers.  Once they were soft, I took them out of the pan and cooked up sliced chicken (I used thighs because I'm known for over cooking chicken and somehow, thighs don't dry out even when I do).  To the chicken pan, I added in half of the veggies and a little more than half of the enchilada sauce.  The other half of the veggies and sauce went in a new pan to just heat through.  I served it on whole wheat tortillas for him, rice tortillas for me.  And for toppings, I used a bean dip that I found on Chef AJ's YouTube channel (more on that in a minute) and quac I tossed together in about 5 minutes....note the mess that is my homemade quac...red onion, tomatoes, avocado and a squeeze of lemon - so easy, so tasty!

Back to Chef AJ.  I love, love, love me some Chef AJ!  I just bought her book, Unprocessed, from Amazon yesterday and can't wait to read it.  I have no idea why but the YouTube videos she makes, "The Chef and the Dietitian" just crack me up.  They are really informative too.  I will not admit to how much time I spent watching their videos on Saturday! It was during the video marathon that I found her recipe for bean dip.  Looked super easy so I made up a batch in time for some lazy Saturday football viewing.  I thought it was good although next time, I'll use a spicy salsa and toss in some jalapeno peppers (I need way more heat!).  Also, I made it in my Vitamix and I think I'll use a regular food processor next time because I prefer my dips to have a bit of texture to them.  This one, while super good, was just too runny for me.  The taste is fantastic though and for a 5 minute dip, can't be beat!

Now I have to hit the streets.  I did nothing yesterday because my Monday morning Body Pump class got moved from 9:00 to 8:30 which may not seem like a big deal but my big kid doesn't leave the house until 8:15 and I just can't get there in time.  Super irritating.  Not sure what I'm going to do about that.  So today I need to get out there and run.  One day off makes me feel so lazy!
