Best go-to easy dinner
-
Breakfast for dinner— French toast, breakfast tacos, etc. Really in a pinch for time it’s quesadillas and a veggie!
-
When I can I try to meal prep on Sunday and cook a lot of ground turkey or beef then throughout the week I’ll do different meals - quesadillas, spaghetti, brown rice/black bean/corn/meat bowls. Another favorite is turkey or chicken sausage on a sheet pan with the stir fry carrots/broccoli bag tossed in olive oil with Italian seasoning in the oven for 20 mins.

Fajita Burritos!
Get some pre marinated fajita meat, cook it on the side, let it rest for 5 and cut against the grain. Roll it up in a tortilla with shredded cheese and fold the sides in halfway through, keep rolling. Put seam side down in a sauté pan with melted butter on medium and that will seal and crisp it. You can turn it over to crisp the other side or leave as is. Serve with lime rice and avo. Can slice up bell peppers and sauté them with evoo, salt , pepper and garlic powder until soft but still slightly crunchy. We do Mission GF tortillas -
We love the breakfast for dinner! I usually make a batch of shredded chicken in the instant pot and use that for quick quesadillas, tacos, fajita bowls, and enchiladas. Super quick and easy.
My kids also love ‘sparkle chicken’- I get plain chicken tenders, place them in Pyrex and add olive oil and just lightly sprinkle Italian bread crumbs and bake for 20-30 min. Add a side of veggies and some noodles and done! -
We made tacos tonight with ground beef. But chicken fried rice is my goto when I just cannot any longer. Trader Joe’s has a good one in the freezer section or can make from scratch

Enchiladas are surprisingly easy, quick and can be healthy. Especially if you buy the enchilada sauce and use a rotisserie chicken. 20min tops and feels way more gourmet

Bag salad from H-E-B, frozen breaded chicken breast from Costco heated in the air fryer. Multiple times per week.
Or salad and scrambled eggs with Parmesan if I don’t have the energy for the air fried.

I make this all the time. You can use it for burrito bowls, tacos or quesadillas to get a few different meals out of it: https://www.skinnytaste.com/crock-pot-chicken-taco-chili-4-pts/
I also make this a lot. Make it easier by using a bag of carrots and dried herbs, basically shake and bake:
