Happy Cinco de Mayo

the menu:

Fajita Chicken (for salad or soft taco)
Lettuce
Tomato
Cheese
Olives
Guacamole
Tomatillo Dressing
Strawberries & Pineapple
Chocolate Chip cookie dough (for eating, baking into cookies or making a Pazookie)
Ice Cream

Since Jaime made tasty rice and beans yesterday I decided not to duplicate again tonight (besides we have leftovers.) I marinated the chicken like I would for Fajitas but intended to use the chicken in a salad. I sent tortillas if some prefer to eat it that way.


the instructions:

Grill chicken. Slice and add to salad, or eat in tortilla.
Bake cookie dough as cookies (350 for 8-10 min.), or press in pie dish and bake to desired doneness. Top with a few scoops of ice cream and everybody grab a spoon. Yum.


the recipes:

Fajita marinade

2 T oil
2 T lemon juice
1 t garlic powder
1/8 t liquid smoke
1 t seasoned salt
1/2 t ground oregano
1/2 t pepper


Tomatillo Dressing (Costa Vida)

1 buttermilk ranch packet
1 c buttermilk
1 c mayo
2 tomatillos, husk removed
1/2 bunch cilantro
juice of 1 lime
1 jalepeno, seeds removed


Chocolate Chip cookies
