What I'm Cooking: Chicken Tacos, Elote (Corn) and Black Beans...Mi Gusta!

I had Tuesday through Friday off so I used that time productively.  On one occasion, I made one of D's favorite meals (at least that I make).  Presenting Tacos frescos, pollo a la parrilla con Elote y Frijol Negros (Fresh, grilled chicken tacos with Corn and Black Beans). 

So easy to make and easy on your waistline without sacrificing flavor!


Tacos:
  • Corn Tortillas
  • Grilled chicken seasoned marinated with Montreal Steak Seasoning, olive oil, chili powder, and cayenne pepper
  • Salsa: halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onions, avocado chunks, fresh cilantro, squeezed lime juice, s/p to taste
  • shredded cheddar cheese
Elote:
  • 3 small ears of corn cut from the cob
  • 1 tablespoon of mayonaise
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 lime squeezed (juice only)
  • small handful of fresh, chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • s/p to taste
Black Beans
  • Low sodium black beans (rinsed out completely with water)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • s/p to taste
