Friday night and no plans. What better way to spend it than with my favorite little girl in the world? I'm sure I mentioned it before but I love that Giada is well on her way to being a foodie. With the exception of crunchy carrots (cooked are acceptable), I can't think of anything that she won't eat. When I told her what I'd planned for dinner tonight, she said. "Yes!" Most kids I know need the details so they can pick out what they won't eat. I love that Giada carefully assesses them and adds suggestions as though she is starting to get what things will work together. Believe me....I don't say this to brag.....she has come up with some combos that would turn your stomach and tonight, told me that onion powder was cinnamon. She's got a some work to do but she's on her way.
Menu: Tortillas layered with black beans, corn and feta cheese served with an avocado salad
We mixed the beans & corn with cumin, onion powder, salt pepper. From there, we placed a tortilla flat on a pan that had been lightly brushed with olive oil (so it didn't stick) and topped with the mixture & tossd on some feta. Another layer and then topped with another tortilla. I brushed the top one with EVOO and sprinkled on some cajun spices. In the oven it went. ( 350deg F.....until done.... I'm awful about timing things like this)
While that was cooking, I got to
I cut the avocado in chunks and Giada mixed it with freshly chopped cilantro, evoo, salt & pepper.
To serve, I just cut the tortilla thingy into wedges and topped with the salad. A nice little dollop of Cabot (the BEST) sour cream accompanied the meal and we had a simple, nutritious veggie meal.
