From Karen's Kitchen- Beef Kabob's! Happy Father's Day!!

Beef Kabob's! Happy Father's Day!!

I thought something grilled would be a nice way to celebrate a special day with  a special dinner.
My husband likes veggies on the grill and steak on the grill so why not do Kabob's?
Super simple and delicious.
I took a pound of Sirloin and marinated it overnight in a Ziplock bag with a cup of Balsamic vinaigrette and steak seasoning.  Then I cut the sirloin into bite size pieces.
To assemble, I cut up a red pepper, green pepper and a Vidalia onion. I alternated between steak, peppers and onions.  Then placed the kabobs on a grill pan in my grill. I turned them every so often until the steak was cooked medium.

For a dipping sauce, I pureed in my food processor, a small jar of roasted red peppers, a 1/2 cup of low fat sour cream, a clove of garlic, a dash of steak seasoning, and 8 basil leaves.

From Karen's Kitchen- Gluten Free Honey Lime Taco Shells

Gluten Free Honey Lime Taco Shells


Ingredients
Chicken tenders, roasted and shredded
Mild cheddar cheese shredded ( You can use Monterrey Jack or a Sharp Cheddar if you prefer)
Gluten Free Enchilada sauce
Corn Tortillas
Honey
Lime
Chili powder

I found this great tip on Pinterest.  Take a muffin pan and turn it over. Take a tortilla, warm it and place it in between the Muffin sections.  Put pan in oven on 375 for 15 minutes until tortilla's are crisp.  Let cool slightly, turn it over and you have a Taco shell.

I make the honey lime sauce in a bowl and let it sit for a bit.  1/4 cup of Honey, the juice of a lime, 1 heaping Tbsp of Chili powder.  Stir and let rest for 10 minutes.  Then add the shredded chicken into the marinade and let it rest for a half and hour.

I place a heaping Tbsp of the chicken mixture into the shell, top with cheese, drizzle Enchilada sauce over the cheese.  I repeat this process until I've made the amount of shells I want to serve.  Then place into a 375 degree oven and bake for 10 minutes.  Top with sour cream and cilantro.
