Chicken Burritos

All day today I have been craving guacamole. Three days ago I bought the most beautiful avocado known to man. Today was the day -- guacamole day. I had the menu for Today's Daily Plate all planned out: chicken burritos, fresh pico de gallo, mixed salad greens and, yes, delicious guacamole. I saved the making of the guacamole until very last to keep it from turning dark before supper. After everything else was ready, I gently sliced into the avocado, mouth watering in anticipation. I twisted it open to find...that the entire avocado was brown and rotten. I was so disgusted I actually threw down my knife. Not smart, but perfectly justifiable!


So, My Daily Plate today features chicken and bean burritos with fresh greens and pico de gallo, sans guacamole. The chicken was sauteed with onions and cajun seasoning. The beans were left over from a couple of days ago, reheated and then mashed for refried-style beans. With some cheddar cheese added, they were decent burritos, only missing the extra zing that some fresh guacamole would have added.

Adobo Pork Loin Chops

     Tonight's Daily Plate features adobo pork loin chops grilled along with Cajun spiced fresh zucchini from my garden. Watermelon completes the entree for a fresh, spicy summer meal.   Adobo Pork Loin Chops      The zucchini was marinated in olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt and Cajun seasoning. When grilled, it blackened slightly, adding a nice grilled flavor. The zucchini was not a favorite with most of the family, but I personally thought it was delicious. Of course, most of the family thinks vegetables are limited to potatoes, English peas and broccoli.

The breasts are then drizzled with a lime, chive and dill butter for a zesty bright taste.      Accompanying the entree is sauteed broccoli with red pepper flakes and parmigiano/reggiano cheese. Finally, I had a serving of simple potato crowns for a bit of crunch. A quick, simple but delicious meal.
