Since tonight is Tae Kwon Do class I didn't really have time to cook. That means no recipe. Don't complain. It also means less reading.
I went super easy. I used the chicken from last night and made tacos. No they're not authentic. I'm German and in a hurry. You don't get authentic.
After pulling the meat off the bone I chopped it up and heated it in an oiled skillet. The spray oil. Not half a cup of butter. I added some salt, chili powder, a little ground cumin and coriander and about 1/4 cup of water once the pan was hot. The amount of water and spices depends on how much chicken you use. I used about two handfuls. My hands. Not yours. Your hands are probably a different size than mine.
I heated corn tortillas over an open burner on the stove, grated some low fat cheddar from Trader Joe's, threw on some tomatoes and mixed greens and it was done. Except for the hot sauce. You gotta have hot sauce. Or maybe you don't. I gotta have hot sauce. Maybe you have fragile taste buds that can't handle hot sauce. I don't know. I used Frank's Red Hot. I could drink that stuff. I don't. But I'm tempted.
So that's it. Super easy and healthy. And fast. Seriously. It took about 10 minutes to put it together. Then I ran off for the evening to learn martial arts. If I have time for a healthy dinner, so do you. But I really wanted a Big Mac.

Thanks for sharing your dinner process, your real desire to eat a big mac, and your wonderful humor in highlighting individual differences in cooking (sizes of hands for example)! This is actually very similar to my dinner last night....leftover meat, re-heated and unauthentically made into a taco!! Yay ;)
