I felt so special this week when my girl Laura asked me to teach her a little Mexican cooking. I never dreamed there would be a day when someone would ask me for help. I’ll take that as a compliment.
We decided to make tostadas – great choice as it allows you to pile on whatever you want. They are a great midweek meal that makes for leftovers for a couple nights.
I like to go for a little heath focused version, so we grabbed green peppers, onions, one lime, shredded cabbage (alternative to lettuce – it has more crunch) lean ground beef and a few other goodies. We sautéed the onions and green peppers together and used the lime for a seasoning. Another great addition would be zucchini. We didn’t do this, but if you want more veggies, this would be perfect. You could even add yellow squash, a personal favorite.
The meal took about 10 minuted to throw together, and with Laura’s help it all timed out perfectly. When I first started cooking on my own I had a hard time balancing time for everything, but sharing a meal with someone and having them help makes cooking so much easier. Another set of hands is always helpful, so thanks Laura for your help and hope you learned something!
Looks absolutely delicious and presentation is great. I Just put all items on my grocery list to cook for tomorrow. Can’t wait….hope Laura enjoyed the meal.
