things that make me go mmmmm

this post represents the closest thing in my life to pornography (eek. hi, dad. sorry).

.

jesse circa 2005. yes his hair is ridiculous, but something about this is so hot. rrrrrrawrh!

.

and of course, coming in a close second to my husband in sex appeal is, FOOD! you may have noticed (mariah did) that on our frugal february meal calendar, the entry for last friday was: "Tacos!" with and exclamation point. this was intentional because taco night is one to get excited about. i pretty much have to fight the desire to make these every single night. they are so farking good! the effort : flavor-gasm ratio here is out of control.

.

be still my heart. be still my loins. seriously, i love them that much.

.

ingredients:

.

small (6") tortilla (flour or corn, your pref)

1 avocado

1- lb of ground turkey

sour cream

pepper jack cheese (or any other kind preshredded or block)

one small sweet onion

one pack of HOT chili seasoning

a few drops of lime juice

cilantro (fresh or dried, whatevs)

.

directions (give yourself about 11 minutes to make this meal):

.

1. dice the onion til you have about 3/4-1cup. brown them over med-high heat in a pan

.

2. once they are browned, crumble in the raw turkey meat and turn up the heat a bit

.

3. when the turkey is mostly browned and it and onions have released some of their juices, dump in the whole packet of chili seasoning and spread it around (if there's not enough liquid to absorb it all, you can add some olive oil)

.

4. stir in a few drops of lime juice and a sprinkle of cilantro.

.

5. while the meat is cooking lay out however many tortillas for the number of tacos you will want (2 each is a great amount for us) and spread sour cream on them

.

6. shred about 1/3 cup of cheese

.

7. once the meat is cooked and the chili seasoning all absorbed turn off the heat and plop spoonfuls of meat on top of your creamy tortillas. top with pinchfuls of the shredded cheese.

.

8. cut the avocado in half (cut into the whole fruit and then rotate your knife around the pit and twist the halves apart). slice the avocado while its still in its peel (just scrape the back of the peel with your knife as you drag down. and then pop out the wedges and top the meat with them.

.

9. salt the avocados pretty well. fold and enjoy. there will be plenty of leftovers, lucky you.

.

these are for reals amazing. jesse almost kidney-punched me in disbelief that this was not beef because it tasted so not-light (like turkey tends to). i wish every night could be taco night.
