The thirtieth recipe I made with the Eating with Ellie group is Taco Pizzas, is found on page 166 of Ellie Krieger's cookbook Weeknight Wonders, and was my pick for the group this week.
Ingredient list: corn tortillas, canola oil, scallions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, cayenne, ground turkey (I used chicken as turkey wasn't available), corn, tomato sauce, pinto beans, chicken broth, pepper jack cheese, and reduced fat sour cream.
When I was in the midst of prepping and making this, I was wondering if it was truly a Weeknight Wonder in regards to prep time as there are numerous steps, none of them difficult, but numerous in number...and a couple of pans and the food processor, etc. so clean up was not just a snap either, but when we tasted the result, we both said, "Oh, yes, this was so worth it." Absolutely delicious and filling. The portion for each person is 2 of the tacos, I ate one and a half and Mark ate the second half and two more. I found it all very satisfying and filling.
I wondered if Mark would feel like the chicken was not as good as the beef he usually likes in things like this, but the seasoning was so wonderful that you really loved it just as it was written in the recipe. Wouldn't change a thing in this recipe. We would make and eat this again in a regular rotation. Delicious, definitely worthy of a repeat.
