Quick Gluten Free Meals

Brittany and I enjoy a nice sit down dinner, but, let's be honest, not every night is that possible. I decided to compile a couple quick recipes that could be made quickly and fairly inexpensively.

The first is chicken tacos. This is a family favorite.
Ingredients:
Rotisserie Chicken (we get the one from Costco)
Corn Tortillas
Vegetable Oil
Salsa
Guacamole
Other Toppings of your choice

Directions:
Heat up the oil in a frying pan and cook the corn tortillas. I enjoy them a little fried, but if you would rather not fry them, just put a little PAM spray on the pan and cook the corn tortillas. Once the tortillas are cooked, just pull chicken right off the bone and put it into your tortillas and fold them up like a taco. The final step is to add whatever toppings you want. We usually do a restaurant style salsa and guacamole.

The second is a great recipe for left overs.
Chicken Quesadillas:
Ingredients:
Corn Tortillas
Leftover Chicken from the Rotisserie (cooked up chicken breast works also)
Tostitos Queso Dip

Directions:
Warm up the queso in a pan and add shredded chicken (1 Jar of dip to about 2 1/2 Cups of chicken). Place 2 Corn Tortillas in a frying pan and brown one side. Once those sides are browned flip them over and spoon on about 2 to 3 spoons of the queso chicken mixture onto one of the tortillas. Then flip the other tortilla on top so the unbrowned side is facing outward. Cook the one side and flip over to cook the other side of the quesadilla. You can serve it with Sour Cream, Salsa, and Guacamole.

The Third is nachos.

Ingredients:
Tortilla Chips
Queso Dip
Cooked Beef or Chicken (cooked with GF Taco Seasoning)
Salsa
Sour Cream
Corn
Beans
Peppers
(Usually we buy a can of corn that has the beans and peppers in it)
Directions:
Cook up the Beef or Chicken in Taco Seasoning. If cooking the chicken, shred it or cube it to be easier to eat with the nachos. Heat up the queso dip. Place the tortilla chips in the oven on broil to warm them up. Once the tortilla chips begin to brown a little, pull them out and dish up. We usually just place all the toppings on the table and everyone dishes up what they want.
