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!
