We’ve officially blown past the “enjoyable” part of summer and plowed right into the “miserable, please make it stop” part.
A heat wave has set up shop over the state and shows NO signs of letting up. It’s gross, humid, and relentlessly hot outside.
I’m trying my best not to cook anything in this house (except for special occasions). Salads and sandwiches are the key to getting through the summer.
When I do cook, I like to keep it simple and only make things that are quick. Nobody wants to stand over a hot stove for an hour.
This is a great dinner recipe to meal prep on the weekends and reheat throughout the week. It doesn’t take a lot of time to throw together, either.
Top this with whatever your heart fancies. I liked it with avocado, cilantro-lime sauce (you can find it at Costco) and fresh cilantro. I bet it would be good with cheese, green onions and tomatoes, too.
Enjoy!
