Taco Tuesday- 21 Day Fix Style

We eat tacos every week. Without fail, it's what's for dinner on Tuesday. Everyone likes it, it's flexible enough to change it up and keep it interesting, and it's easy enough to make healthy.

Easy is of massive importance for me right now as I just started a new job and am getting adjusted o getting up way earlier. This is something I can throw together in a moment. And if you are lazy like me and buy shredded cheese, you are golden.
This is the seasoning I use for my tacos. I like to use chicken breast (diced) but we sometimes do ground turkey or lean beef. You could do tofu as well by my husband would divorce me.
Seasoning blend:
1 TBSP Ancho chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Himalayan salt
1/2 tsp oregano
2 tsp cumin
mix it all together!
Now, I cook shit in my le cruset. You can use stainless steel but please don't use non-stick. It's bad for you and food doesn't taste as good. 
Why do I worship Le Cruset? They are kind of like mason jars- they are just the best because I said so. And they last FOREVER. Because they are awesome.

 Now here is a big trick. Get ready.
Heat your pot up before you put any oil in it. When you do that and pour in only a tsp of oil you create a barrier that will make your food not stick. Amazeballs.
I put the seasoning with 1.5 lbs of chicken. Toss it to coat and brown it a bit. I then pour in about 1/2-1 cup of chicken stock and cover and turn to low. Simmer for about 30 minutes.
We serve with corn tortillas (2= one yellow)
beans
avocado
greens
cucumbers
lime
whatever the heck else you want. I like a salad, the kids like hard shells, the husband likes a burrito with a low carb wrap. Its hard to go wrong with taco night!
