This week we really fell off the wagon with our eating habits because we have been moving into a new house and I am a teacher heading back to school in the middle of COVID-19… YEAH CRAZINESS AROUND HERE! This week I wanted cheap, easy recipes to just survive (that are DELICIOUS OF COURSE), I know we have all been there, so this recipe is for you! It’s also a recipe for LATE NIGHT MUNCHIES.. cause I know we’ve all been there too… shh, I won’t tell anyone! The cool thing about this recipe is that it is gluten free because I do use the almond flour tortillas from Siete. If you can’t find them or would rather have flour or corn tortillas… feel free to switch it, just remember flour tortillas are not gluten free! I hope you love this little cheat!
Equipment for this recipe:
- Frying Pan
- Saucepan
Ingredients for this recipe:
- Chicken Breasts
- Taco Blend Cheese
- Almond Flour Tortillas (I use Siete Brand) or flour/corn tortillas if you want to swap
- Taco Bell Mild or Hot Sauce
- Butter
Substitutions:
Chicken Breast is easy, but you could also do flank steak or sirloin and fry it in the frying pan first with a little hot sauce and then put it inside. OR if you’re a vegetarian just skip the meat all together and have a cheesy hot sauce quesadilla!
Feel free to use any cheese you like! Taco blend cheese taste the closest to the blend they use at Taco Bell, so that is why I chose it!
Almond Flour Tortillas can be hard to find, so corn will also keep this recipe gluten free! Or flour if you are not worries about gluten!
Taco Bell Hot Sauces are all now sold at certain grocery stores, which is awesome! BUT if you can’t find it at your grocery store, feel free to use any hot sauce or mild sauce you like!
