Mmmm...Potato Tacos

From Sandra Lee:

Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning
1 (16-ounce) bag pre-cooked diced red-skin potatoes
1/2 cup pre-sliced mushrooms
1/3 cup reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese
1 (16-ounce) can vegetarian refried beans
3/4 cup cilantro salsa, plus more for serving
1 (5.8-ounce) box white corn taco shells
Chopped red onion, tomato, and lettuce, for serving

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together oil and fajita seasoning. Add potatoes and mushrooms and toss until well coated. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Meanwhile, stir together beans and salsa in microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes; set aside.

Heat taco shells in oven for 3 to 5 minutes.

Spoon beans into heated taco shells. Top with potato mixture and garnish with red onion, tomato, and lettuce.

Serve immediately with salsa.

I made my own Taco Seasoning...the recipe I found online is below:

HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING MIX

1 tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. each ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, powdered oregano and sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Makes 3 tablespoons of seasoning mix, which is equal in strength to a 1/4 ounce package of commercial seasoning mix.

Bryan dancing at Navarre Beach...

You can't hear him, but at the very end, he says "I'm tired" and that's what we're all laughing at. He's hilarious.

I love my family. Bay and I spent this past weekend at the beach with my parents, my sis, bro-in-law, and sweet nephew and we had a BLAST! I feel so fortunate to not only have a family I can count on for anything, but also one that's FUN! And I'm not forgetting the in-laws either...they are awesome too. I'm one lucky girl!
