4 Year Giveaway & Chicken Fajita Tostadas

How was your weekend? I hope it was a fantastic one! Ours was excellent, filled with good food, family time & exercise! We also got our taxes done.

Its secret recipe club time again. As a part of the club, each month you’re assigned another Secret Recipe Club blogger to make a recipe from. If you want to join, click here to sign up.

This month, I was assigned the blog Cooking Mimi. Mimi is a Southern cook and has tons of fun recipes. She has a deep love for Mexican food (me too!), so I had to try one of her Mexican recipes. I choose her Chicken Fajita Tostadas and made a few changes.  Here is a general step-by-step of what I did:

I took organic chicken thighs (on mega sale) and rubbed them with the fajita rub/marinade. I let them sit in the fridge for about an hour and a half. I baked the chicken up on a cookie sheet topped with non-stick aluminum foil at 400 degrees F until cooked through. I let the chicken cool/sit for about 10 minutes and then sliced it into bite sized pieces:

I then setup two separate skillets. In one, I heated up refried black beans mixed with leftover brown rice:

In the other, I heated up corn and peas (Josh isn’t an onions & peppers fan). Next, I added the chicken.

I placed tortillas under the broiler to crisp up (keep an eye on them so they don’t burn). I removed the tortillas and topped them with refried beans, corn, peas, chicken & rice. Josh ate his with cheese and jalapenos:

 

I ate mine as more of a salad with spinach, tomato, and avocado (its all hidden under there ).

Kay Helped with all the cooking:

So today, I have been blogging for four years! This seems truly crazy to me! I have really enjoyed blogging and all of the amazing people I have met through this space. To celebrate, I want to giveaway a little baking package! The package will include a baked good (made by me- winners choice), a bag of baking chunks (my favorite) and a couple other surprise items!
