Southwestern Turkey Scramble

It has been far too long since we've posted a recipe. We have both been very busy, but have some good news; Michael and I are finally cooking in the same kitchen, in New York City! Michael made up a very easy but delicious recipe that was so tasty that I asked him to make it again the next day so I could watch and make it on my own in the future.

Ingredients

5 eggs

a heaping tablesppon of sour cream (we used light)

1/2 pound ground turkey

cheese of choice (we used goat cheese)

topics of choice (we used tomatoes and jalapeno stuffed green olives)

salsa (we used salsa verde)

In a small bowl whisk the eggs and sour cream together.

Get any toppings ready to throw on the omelet once it's done.

Add seasoning to the ground turkey. We used a combination of hot pepper, "everything rub", and garlic powder.

Brown the turkey in a pan over medium heat until it's almost all the way cooked.

Add the egg and other toppings.

The second time we scrambled the mixture, but feel free to make it into an omelet if you feel your spatula skills are up to par.

Once the egg is close to done, add in the cheese. If you're making an omelet, add the cheese before folding the omelet over.

Plate and add some salsa on top.

Enjoy!

Verde Bean and Cheese Enchiladas

Last week I had a craving for a bean and cheese wrap with salsa verde, but we were out of salsa verde. I finally had the chance to go to the grocery store this weekend and was able to make this for dinner tonight. It's a very simple recipe but I wanted to add it to the collection as a reminder for a quick and easy meal.  

In the microwave (or in a pan over the stove) melt shredded cheese on a tortilla. I used mozzarella but any type of shredded cheese would work. Also, I highly recommend Trader Joes' whole grain tortillas with flax. Not only are they delicious, but they're also healthy.

Add some beans and/or meat, vegetables, etc. and heat a second time.

Spoon some salsa verde on top and enjoy!

Tortilla Pizza

I had the pleasure of spending all last week in New York City with Michael, helping him move. We had the opportunity to try a ton of really great restaurants. One night we had dinner and drinks at a bar. I ordered a healthy whole wheat pizza with veggies which came out on a very thin crust, similar to a tortilla. It was so delicious I knew I had to try to make my own version once I got home. I threw some pizzas together tonight and really liked how they turned out. I will definitely make this recipe again.

Ingredients

tortilla(s) - amount depends on how many pizzas you'd like to make

tomato sauce

shredded mozzarella cheese

toppings of your choice

First, cover a cookie sheet with foil. Put the tortilla(s) on the cookie sheet and spread the tomato sauce.

Add the cheese and toppings. I used broccoli, black beans, and mushrooms. Pop the pizzas in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Enjoy!
