Old El Paso Stand ‘n Stuff Soft Flour Tortillas w/ Ground Turkey and all the Fix’ins

Dinner Tonight: Old El Paso Stand ‘n Stuff Soft Flour Tortillas w/ Ground Turkey and all the Fix’ins

Couldn't wait to have these Soft Tortillas again, Old El Paso Stand ‘n Stuff Soft Flour Tortillas. This is one of my favorite Taco Shells, these are great! Their a Flour Soft Stand Up Tortilla. Only 160 calories and 24 carbs per serving which is 2 Tortillas. Their formed into a soft bowl and keep their shape after warming them up and loading them up! Because of their shape you can really load them up with your fillers. If you come across these grab a box, you’ll love them!



Tonight's Dinner Fix'ins are; Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey – 99/1. I pan fried it in Canola Oil and seasoned it with Ground Cumin, Sea Salt, Cilantro Flakes, Diced Green Onions, and a 1/2 packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning. I also added Dole Chef's Cut Diced Pineapple and Mango, Del Monte Sweet Corn, Sliced Black Olives, Bush’s Low Sodium Dark Red Kidney Beans, Lettuce, fresh Shredded Dutch Gouda Cheese, and Taco Bell Creamy Chipotle Sauce. If you’ve never tried the Taco Bell Creamy Chipotle Sauce it’s another you have to try. It’s got a nice creamy thick sauce with just the right amount of Chipotle heat! A little high in calories and fat but it’s one of those that’s so good it’s worth it every now and then. The Dole Chef's Cut Diced Pineapple and Mango is another new item I came across at Walmart the other day. They come frozen and already diced, perfect for any recipe. Adding this to all the other ingredients was the right touch! Along with heat provided by different things the fruit gives that slightly sweet taste, great pairing! These could be the best Tacos I've ever prepared. My parents were going to have something else for their dinner till they seen how good they looked. They agreed with me delicious! For dessert later some Newman's Own Blackbean and Corn Salsa with Tostito's Baked Scoops.

Sweet & Sour Chicken w/ Sliced Chestnuts, Mini Carrots, and Diced Pineapple

Dinner Tonight: Sweet & Sour Chicken w/ Sliced Chestnuts, Mini Carrots, and Diced Pineapple

I went to the store early this morning just looking for something that I had never made before. Nothing really didn't appeal to me until I came across La Choy Creations Sweet & Sour Chicken! I had dinner! I had seen reviews of the La Choy dinners and they were all positive.

The dinner kit came; with 1 can pineapple and red peppers in a sweet & sour sauce, and 1 packet pre-measured long grain rice. I added 1 lb. thawed boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1/2" pieces), 2 tbsp Canola Oil (for cooking chicken), and 1 1/2 cups water. Boil the rice, fry the chicken, add your sauces, fix any sides you would like, and serve the chicken on top of the bed of rice. I've left the full instructions at the end of the post. It came out delicious! The Sweet &Sour Sauce is just flat out fantastic. It has a perfect blending of spices, pineapple, and red peppers. Also it's 320 calories and 45 carbs.

Along with the Sweet & Sour Chicken I prepared a side of Sliced Chestnuts that I added with the Chicken and Sauce, some Dole Diced Pineapple, and boiled Mini Carrots. Excellent and filling dinner! I'm looking forward to trying the boxed dinners. You can purchase La Choy Creations in three different flavors, Asian Fried Rice, Teriyaki Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken.

This dinner is nothing but GOOD! My parents aren't big on meals like this but they both really enjoyed it and said they wanted to try the other meals also! The Sweet &Sour Sauce is just incredible! I think some time soon I'm going to try this with Pork instead of Chicken. As you can tell by the picture the 1 box makes a huge amount of food. Lots left for some great leftovers for lunch tomorrow. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding.
