Kale Tacos

Good Evening!

I’m so glad I got a ton of stuff done over the weekend; I actually feel like I have a chance to relax (and blog) in the evenings. 🙂

My afternoon snack: Siggi’s Pomegranate & Passion Fruit Yogurt. I really liked this flavor! It was a good one.

My husband really is the chef in our house. I need a recipe, but he says he “creates.”

His creation tonight: Kale Tacos!

He actually came up with this creation while in college. So while most guys were stuff their faces with pizza, burgers, and Top Ramen, my future husband was getting regular. (If you know what I mean!) 😉

Craig started by mixing these seasonings (to your taste’s preference) in a small bowl: cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt.

He then chopped onion, tomatoes, and sauted them to a saucepan with extra virgin olive oil.

The show-stopper, a giant bundle of kale.

Now chop, chop, chop that bad boy!!

Next he added the kale to the pan that contained the onions and tomatoes.Place the cover on the pot and allow kale to steam.

Steam mixture until it looks like this. Nothing but veggies, I like it!

Add seasoning mixture to the kale and stir.

Part one is now complete.

Part two: Start by placing corn tortilla on a non-stick skillet sprayed with olive oil.

Spray tortilla with more olive oil and sprinkle with: basil, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and allow to melt.

Remove from heat. . .

and top with kale mixture.

Craig likes to top his with additional cheese. 🙂

Fold like a taco, eat, and enjoy!

I like it when my husband cooks for me. 😀

These are SO good! I can’t believe kale can taste this good! Granted it is quite fibrous, and a little tough to bite through, the combination of the seasonings, cheese, and corn tortilla make this creation super delicious!

I needed a little ice cream to cool my mouth from the heat of it. 🙂

Just a few things on my to-do list tonight:

  • Do an ab workout.
  • Wash my car.
  • Pack my lunch for tomorrow.
  • Clean the kitchen and wash dishes.

Hope your evening was splendid!

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.
