Asado Chicken Street Tacos - Review

Street tacos are on the menu again. This time we tried out Old El Paso's Asado Chicken street taco kit. It includes the tortillas, creamy jalapeno sauce and the seasoning mix.  We just added the chicken.  So if you are in the need for quick and easy this is an option.  Overall was good and we will have it again. Even my youngest who is pickier than picky liked it.  He does seem to be a bit of a Mexican food fan in general but he is still super picky. 

I definitely recommend trying it. I am not the biggest fan of chicken but I enjoyed it too.

Beef Barbacoa Street Tacos - Review

I stumbled across Old El Paso's Beef Barbacoa Street tacos kit in the store the other day.  I hadn't seen them before but I hadn't really looked around in the taco section of the store either. I have had Beef Barbacoa Burritos at work before and it was pretty good so I decided to grab the kit and see if it would be something that we would want to add to our mix of things we fix.  

The kit itself comes with the street taco tortillas, salsa verde and the seasoning mix.  I just had to add the meat and apple cider vinegar.

I have to say it was pretty darn yummy.  It is definitely worth fixing at home in my opinion.  The kit was overall super easy. I dumped a chuck roast in the crock pot, added some apple cider vinegar and the seasoning mix. Fast forward 6 hours later and we had delicious street tacos.  If you like Mexican food it is a must try.  Next up will be to find a good recipe to use so that I don't need to buy the seasoning or kit but can mix my own because it is something we will have again in the future.

Potato peeler woes!

So recently my pampered chef potato peeler bit the dust. I had replaced my original 20 year old peeler (that was a gift from my grandmother when I first moved out on my own... no name brand just a simple peeler) with the pampered chef one about 8 years ago. It was a sad sad day in my kitchen.  

We wound up buying this piece of crap replacement at the store just because we needed one in a hurry. That was a mistake and a total waste of money! I do not recommend it at all. Stay away from it. It was the faberware peeler that is like 2 bucks at walmart.  It is a piece of junk!  It broke the first time we tried to use it. The blade was just flimsy and could be bent with ease. 

So now we have gotten another replacement and hopefully it turns out to be a much better peeler than the last one. So far so good. 

We went with the T-fal Ingenio Curved Peeler, Black this time. It seems much sturdier than the last one we got. But only time will tell if it will really last for the long haul! It was a little more than the last one we got. About the same as my pampered chef one however.  As of right now... I would recommend it!
