I've always wondered what Old El Paso's dinner kits are like. The families in the commercials always look so happy eating! Well, over this past weekend I was at Shoppers and saw the Fajita kit on sale for $2.99 with an additional "Save $2" coupon stuck on the box. $0.99?!?! SHOOT! I thought I scored an amazing deal but then I went home, opened the box and realized that it wasn't much of a kit. It came with the following three things: 10 tortillas, filling seasoning and "sauce". At this point, $0.99 was starting to look like a rip-off. Why call it a "kit" when it doesn't include even HALF of what you need to prepare a decent meal?
| 10 tortillas, filling seasoning & "sauce" |
Here is what you will need to buy in addition to what comes with the "kit": bell peppers (thinly sliced), 1/2 an onion (thinly sliced), tomato (diced) & mushrooms (sliced)
Oh and you will need a couple of chicken breasts. Slice thinly.
The "sauce" is absolutely horrendous by the way. It's so terrible that it should be illegal. Regardless, I didn't want to waste it. Afterall, it cost 1/3 of $0.99. So I diced a whole tomato and 1/4 of an onion, muddled in some cilantro leaves, threw in a dash of salt & pepper and mixed everything with 2 tablespoons of the "sauce". The end result was a surprisingly tasty salsa. Although, I wish I had some lemon & lime at my disposal - it would've added a nice tangy kick.
Pan fry your chicken slices until they're no longer pink.
Then throw in all your veggies, add the seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Keep stirring on high heat until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the sauce has thickened.
Then assemble, top with dollop of salsa & EAT! ¡Buen apetito!
That's a lot of work for Taco Luis.
