salmon and taco salad recipes

[wriggs]

I have some Salmon fillets and was looking for a good way to cook them.

Also. I love spicy foods--anyone have a recipe for a real spicy taco salad?
Any and all help appreciated.

What do you want in your Taco Salad meat-wise?

One thing I do is cut strips of chicken breast meat the size of your index finger, dredge them in Schilling "Hot" Taco seasoning mix and fry in corn oil until almost done.

Next I de-glaze the pan with a couple of tablespoons of tequila and add 1-2 Tbsps. Chipotle peppers (Chipotle's are smoked Jalepeno's) to taste.

Chipotle's add a depth and heat that I really like. You can make tacos with the chicken strips or toss them in with fresh Avacado, Black Beans, Cilantro and chopped Tomato in a salad and drizzle Ranch Dressing and a squeeze of fresh Lime-Yum...Pass the Margaritas

You can buy canned Chipotle's at Co-Op's or look in the ethnic section at Cub, Rainbow or better yet visit a local Hispanic market and pick up lots of rarely seen hot stuff and get creative!

Oh yeah, my recipe for a "Pure" Margarita:

1-C. Gold Tequila (Cuervo)or other quality Tequila.
1/3 C. Triple Sec
2-Tbsps. Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
1/4 C. Roses Lime Juice

Mix all ingredients in a pitcher.

Adjust Tequila amount to your preference if you like.

Pour mixture into Ice-filled glasses, salted rims if you like it.

Thanks Chells. I'm going to cabin tomorrow night and will have to mix up a Margarita. Nothing like sitting around a hot fire drinking a few!!! Will try the taco salad ingredients soon. Again, Thanks

I had some of the new "No Name Salmon" the other night. Cooked them on the George Foreman grill and topped them with the Paul Newman Peach Salsa. They were delicious!!!!
