Taco Salad -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 07/15/12 15:00
After making our baked fajitas last week we were still craving Mexican food but had no tortillas or chicken. Instead of going out and buying more we decided to get creative and made taco salad for dinner. Not much healthier than a normal dinner of Mexican...

One Pan Baked Chicken Fajitas -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 07/11/12 18:52
We know that we have blogged a chicken fajita recipe before and boy are they good. We love that recipe but the problem is that it is time consuming and leaves a lot of dirty dishes to clean up. Sometimes we want tasty fajitas without much effort. For those...

Chicken Fajitas -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 03/24/12 14:08
We never really thought about making fajitas at home until we had them out at a restaurant and realized they are no harder than burritos to put together. We stuck with just chicken, marinated in a lime juice mixture. Added grilled onions, pepper, and all...

Fresh Chunky Salsa and Guacamole -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 03/22/12 22:28
If you are making tacos, burritos or fajitas from scratch you might as well go all out and make the salsa and guacamole from scratch too. Fresh salsa and guacamole is also good with plain nacho chips. Eat it as an appetizer or put it out at a party for...

Better than the Box Mexican Rice -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 02/22/12 11:23
This Mexican rice is easy to make and only takes about 25 minutes. It is better than any Mexican rice from the box we have ever tried and goes with tacos, burritos, enchiladas and even plain. Take the extra few minutes to make it from scratch and you will...

Hot! Beef Chili -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 01/06/12 11:05
This chili is HOT! When we say hot, we mean, the two of us, who love spicy foods, had our noses running the entire time we ate dinner. It was that spicy. But don't let this discourage you! If you are not the biggest fan of spicy foods we still recommend...

We made these recipes with Thanksgiving especially in mind, and the leftovers that you might have and need to get rid of over the next week. Making interesting meals, instead of just turkey sandwich after turkey sandwich will get you through your leftovers...

Cheater's Enchiladas -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 11/15/11 11:18
This is the lazy man's version of enchiladas (hence the name, Cheater's Enchiladas) which was perfect for us the other night when we wanted to use up the tortillas and ground beef we had. These enchiladas are good, especially for the minimum effort they...

Simple Nachos -

Tales of a Garlic and Onion Lover 10/16/11 13:03
Nachos are definitely not very common in Germany and when we are craving some the only real choice is to make them ourselves or drive quite a ways to pay a ridiculous amount of money. For that reason, we now make them ourselves. For Americans, nachos are...
