In a previous post I talked about making chicken stock from scratch. In that recipe, after the bird had cooked, I removed the meat from the bones before returning the bones back to the broth for longer cooking. The meat was saved for dinner that night. The chicken I had used was an older bird before she was put in the freezer, so her meat needed to be boiled a while before ready to eat, otherwise the meat is too tough.
Inside out tacos are super easy and quick to make, especially if the meat is already cooked, like what I did here.
In the red bowl is the chicken meat seasoned with cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper.
In the pot is my black beans cooking down.
To make the taco 'shells' you take the larger outer leaves of romaine lettuce, the big ones and the curved ones work nicely, but leave the really small inner leaves as they tend to be #1 small, and #2 bitter. Wash the lettuce 'shells' well and let dry.
Lastly I shredded some Cheddar cheese and got out the sour cream.
I layer it with beans, chicken, sour cream then cheese but that's just me. You could also cook up some other veggies like bell peppers and add those in.
It's a fast, easy, and tasty dinner.
