Steak with Mango-Peach Salsa

I got this puppy out of a Betty Crocker $1 cookbook from Target called "20-minute Meals;" apparently Rachel Ray needed to be beaten? Anyway, it was super easy and very yummy. The recipe is followed up by a couple quick notes. 1/4 c finely chopped red bell pepper 2 tsp finely chopped, seeded jalapeno chiles 1 tsp finely chopped or grated gingerroot OR 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1/4 c peach preserves 1 tbsp lime juice 1 small mango, cut lenthwise in half, pitted & chopped 4 boneless beef NY strip steaks 1-2 tsp Caribbean jerk seasoning* In medium bowl, mix bell pepper, chiles & gingerroot. Stir in preserves, lime juice & mango. Set oven control to broil. Sprinkle both sides of beef with jerk seasoning. Place on rack in broiler pan.

May Meal Plan 3: Fish Tacos with Chipotle Crema and Salsa Fresca

I got this one from the Food Network too. It turned out pretty ok, nothing to scream about. My daughter really liked the breading, but yea.

Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place in the oven until soft and pliant, about 12 minutes. Remove and keep wrapped until ready to use. In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to ...

Grilled Salsa Chicken

A while ago I posted a recipe that basically involved dumping salsa on the chicken and baking it. Well, yesterday I thought it'd be fun to try and do it on the grill. Oh, and I forgot to take a picture but just imagine the other post with grill lines and you get the idea. 1 jar/ can of your favorite salsa 1 chicken breast per person Place chicken in shallow baking dish or a bowl. Pour the salsa on top of the chicken and allow it to sit for at least 20 minutes. Fire up your grill and place chicken on it. Cook about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
