JUST SPEAKING OUT" An easy inexspensive family meal, Soft Tacos with a Twist.

   Today if you go into any given restaurant it is going to cost easily about $20.00 this is not including tip, and taxes  sometimes it is worth that, and sometimes not.  This is an easy meals, and actually very tasty. Think it cost about $8.00 dollars in total to make about 7 to 10 of the soft tacos.
   Ingredients; a package of taco seasoning, or if a person wants to the person can make their own with a little chili powder, salt and pepper, or with what a person's palate happens to likes for spices. A half a pound of hamburger, half an onion, chopped and un- cooked. Some grated mild cheddar cheese.
    Dice, a tomato and place on a plate of to the side with the onion a few pieces of lettuce Preferring the green or red leaf lettuce because it is healthier it can be grated or torn into small pieces. Cook the hamburger until done drain the grease, add taco seasoning a little water, and cook until it thickens. Tortillas can be bought or made. It is just easier to buy them when you want to save a little time. A small package of chips preferably Doritos, and some sour cream.
   The salsa is home made it is made fresh, not like that nasty taste stuff a restaurant served last week, it does not include salt or pepper, it has tomato's onions, a finely diced jalapeno pepper, not a real hot one, a little cilantro and and fresh chopped white onions.  It gives the taco a unique fresh flavor, I take a fresh lime and squeeze just a little on the taco. The tortilla can be warmed in a skillet or even in a microwave for about 20 seconds, no longer than that it is to hot and becomes hard.
   Place the grated cheese, the hamburger and the tomato's that are diced also a the onion that are off to the side on another plate. Then a little of the fresh salsa, and a teaspoon or so of the sour cream crunch a few Doritos of your flavoring choice on top or in between. A small slice of avocado and it is one good tasting taco. I wrap them up refrigerate and take for lunch the next day.
 

"Just Speaking Out" about bad restraunt chains and including a easy quick meal recipe."

   Not having a lot of time when I am working an almost full time job, and I am also a full time college student, and I had some finals over the weekend. My partner and I decided to try the dinning out thing. Big mistake went to a popular advertised dine in restaurant chain. Big mistake, my partner suggested the 2 meals for/$20 deal thing I simply ordered a hamburger because I thought how badly could they get a hamburger wrong. "Oh how wrong was I." Very....
  Medium well, does not mean uncooked hamburger, with blood coming out usually is considered rare. We also had some salsa and chips the salsa tasted like a bottle of salt might of fell in by mistake I proposed complaining to my partner, then just said to myself in thought, I will just blog about this. By the way, raw hamburger will make you sick. I should call a lawyer after that bout. Anyone out there besides just me ever have this happen? I will gladly give the name of the chain if you share your experience's! Here is an easy meal recipe and probably a lot less illness attached, and less than the 2/20 deal.

  Easy meal recipe you will need a non stick skillet a little depth to the sides and some vegetables of your choice or meat, if you are a non-vegetarian include it. I use a little Worcestershire sauce a little butter, and little soy sauce, a little salt and ground pepper. I use broccoli, about a half of a green bell pepper, about half of red bell pepper, some fresh mushrooms, about a quarter of an onion. On medium high cook steak until done using very little seasoning, and just a little butter or olive oil. Once cooked sliced in length for appearance. Start a pan of rice, usually two cups of water to one cup of rice. I rinse the rice before cooking the rice. Bringing the rice to a boil for about a minute, turn the rice to a low simmer, cover with a lid for about 15 to 18 minutes. I take a small amount of butter, or you can use olive oil. Wash and slice vegetables place in the pan and stir until cooked add a little Worcestershire sauce and a a drop or two of soy sauce. Then a stir fry is made simply and easily. My partner does not like Teriyaki, so I just adjust a bit of different flavoring to the stir fry.   A little secret, you can use any type of meat chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, or none at all. Take the rice place in a bowl or on a plate then you can take the stir fry and place to the side or on top of the rice.
