SPICY FIESTA TACO SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, add olive oil and jalapeno. Sauté pepper until soft and fragrant, 3-4 minutes.
• Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, measure out the rice. Put rice in a strainer/fine colander and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear. (This removes some of the starch.).
• To the stock pot, add the brown rice, onion, tomato sauce, seasonings, pinto beans and diced tomatoes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, stir pot, cover and simmer 30-45 minutes (until rice is done, according to your package directions).

SPICY CHICKEN TAILGATE TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with foil. (I originally made this by spraying the pan with non stick spray. That is totally fine to do, but using foil can help in keeping the shells crisp.)
• Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add onion to skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.Stir in the chicken, taco seasoning, tomatoes, and green chiles. Stir to combine fully. Reduce to simmer and allow to cook for 5-8 minutes.
• Place the taco shells in the baking dish, standing up. I was able to fit 10 taco shells in the dish by adding 2 on each side.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon of beans into the bottom of each taco shell. Top with the chicken mixture, almost to the top of each shell. Sprinkle each shell generously with shredded cheese, the more the better!
• Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and the edges of the shells are browned.
• Remove from the oven and top with your favorite items such as jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro, and salsa.
