Steak and Mango Fajitas. BBQ Chicken and Peach Quesadillas. Peach season is quickly fading and I have been trying to enjoy them as much as I can before they are all gone for another year.
In fact this week I may have gone a little overboard and gotten a few too many of them! Not to worry though as I have been happily coming up with new ways to use them including in these tasty peach quesadillas. The recipe could not be simpler, you just need some leftover cooked and shredded chicken mixed in with some BBQ sauce, cheese, tortillas and optionaly, some cilantro, in addition to a fresh peach. Once everything is assembled you just need to cook it until the cheese has melted and then you are in a peach and melted cheesy heaven! The sweet, spicy and tangy BBQ chicken goes really well with the juicy peaches and ooey gooey melted cheese! So much melted cheesy goodness! Does this look good? BBQ Chicken and Peach Quesadillas Sweet and spicy BBQ chicken with fresh, juicy peaches all smothered in melted cheese makes these quesadillas unforgettable!

Especially for my fellow small business owners who just gave half of their revenue back to the government. Good grief, I won’t even go there.

Shredded Beef and Caramelized Onion Enchiladas. Our good friends were coming over for dinner and I wanted to make something simple, hearty and delicious.
I decided to do shredded beef enchiladas with black beans and caramelized onions. I let the beef cook for hours in the oven – my house smelled so good. The enchiladas were great, the meat was tender, spicy and flavorful while the onions were deliciously sweet. I topped them with a dollop of sour cream and fresh cilantro and served them with a nice tomato and avocado salad (thanks Kyle).

It seems like the things I make most frequently in my kitchen, I skip over on the blog. We love this rice, and I make it at least once a week. Great as a side for anything Mexican, or even as a light main course paired with some of Elly’s World Famous Black Beans. I remember I used to be scared of cooking rice on the stove-top. Don’t tell anyone, but I always used to cook it in it in the microwave! Grilled Guacamole Recipe - StumbleUpon.

Once we’ve got everything grilled and set aside, place the avocado into a bowl and give it a quick mash. Next, grate some garlic over the avocado. Be sure to get all that fabulous garlic from the bottom side of your grater. Next, juice a lime or two over the avocado. Add the chopped red onion. And then the tomatoes! Throw in some chopped cilantro. Season the guac with some salt and a few turns of freshly cracked black pepper. And serve it up with some of your favorite chips!!
