Food and Recipes while under Coronavirus quarantine #8

[IceIce9]

This Weight Watcher post popped up on my Facebook page. So I decided I’d try to make it today.

I used 2 packages of chicken breast because it’s all I had on hand.

I used a 1/2 pack of taco mix. I don’t know the difference between chicken taco seasoning and regular taco seasoning. I don’t like a strong flavor. I figured what I had was enough.

I had a can of diced tomatoes with green chilis. Big mistake! They are too spicy.

So I mixed it, warmed it and had to have sour cream on each bite to tolerate it.

Later, it occurred to me, that I could add a can of no salt diced tomatoes to dilute the flavor.

I’m hoping the flavors will meld overnight and tomorrow, I’ll be able to tolerate the spice.

Looks delicious!

I have found that diced tomatoes with green chilis vary in spiciness from one brand to another. I usually buy Red Gold diced tomatoes with green chilis, which are very mild. But when I have used other brands some are quite spicy.

Red Gold is a local Indiana brand, and I always use their “Fresh Squeezed” tomato juice. It is not from concentrate and tastes much better (IMO) than other brands which are almost all reconstituted.
