Dinner Tonight: Pulled Buffalo Chipotle BBQ Sandwich w/ Mini Taco Tostadas Appetizers
Wow, we finally saw the sun today! They say not for long though as more heavy rain predicted. Went to
Meijer this morning and picked up quite a few items. Finding Meijer prices lower and lower, that's a good thing. They also have the best selections of Jennie - O products, which I love using! In fact I'll be using some of the Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey for an appetizer for tonight. For dinner I prepared a Pulled Buffalo Chipotle BBQ Sandwich w/ Mini Taco Tostadas Appetizers.
I used Wild Idea Buffalo Pulled Buffalo Chuck Roast. It comes in a 1 lb. package and it's already cooked. It's rubbed with a blend of Mexican seasonings and then slowly braised to fall apart tender. All I did was open and heat! I topped it with JB'S Fat Boy Chipotle BBQ Sauce and served on a Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Sandwich Bun. I love Buffalo and Wild Idea Buffalo has the most delicious Buffalo Meat there is!
For a side or appetizer I prepared Mini Taco Dip Tostadas with a Greek Yogurt/Sour Cream Sauce. Really
happy how this came out, delicious! A really good and easily prepared appetizer. Got the idea from the Cooking Channel and I used some reduced fat items to make it a bit more healthy and keeping the taste. I first made Greek Yogurt/Sour Cream Sauce using a 1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt, 1 Tablespoon Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream, and the Zest of 1 lime, plus juice of 1/2 lime. Just combine all the 3 ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use, real easy to make. For the Mini Taco Dip Tostadas I needed 1/2 - Packet Old El Paso Taco Seasoning, 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Tortilla chips, preferably round, 8 ounces Jennie - O 99-percent Fat-Free Ground Turkey, 1/2 cup Low Sodium Canned Black Beans, rinsed and drained, Pinch Sea Salt, Fresh Cracked Black Peppercorn, Frank's Red Hot Sauce to taste, optional, and 1 cup Sargento Shredded Reduced - Fat Cheddar Cheese.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Place chips in on a broiler-proof baking sheet set aside. Brown the turkey in the skillet, breaking it up with a fork, until the meat is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning, salsa and some salt and black pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Spread turkey mixture across all the chips and top with the cheese. Broil long enough to melt cheese and heat the chips, and then let cool and serve! This is a real keeper recipe! We could have made a meal of just these, everyone enjoyed them! I left the full recipe at the end of the post. For dessert later tonight a slice of Pillsbury Nut Quick Bread topped with a scoop of Breyer's Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream.
