FRY BREAD TACOS This dinner took me right back to being a little kid, going to Pow Wow’s in the summer and eating fry bread. You could get it sweet with powdered sugar and honey, or savory, and fry bread tacos were one of my favorites. I remember beans on them too, but I kept mine simple because one of my kids doesn’t like beans. Ground beef, lettuce, cheese, homemade pico, and sour cream. Add hot sauce, add beans, add whatever you want. You’re the one eating it! Makes 8 fry bread tacos FRY BREAD • 3 cups all-purpose flour • 2 teaspoons baking powder • 1 teaspoon salt • Approximately 1 cup warm water, adding more as needed • Olive oil or your preferred frying oil TACO MEAT • 2 pounds ground beef • 1 medium onion, grated • 3 cloves garlic, grated • 1½ cups water • 1½ teaspoons Better Than Bouillon, any flavor you like. I used garlic. • 6 tablespoons Brooke’s Zesty Lime Taco Seasoning OR 2 packets taco seasoning TOPPINGS • Shredded lettuce • Shredded cheese • Pico de gallo • Sour cream • Hot sauce, optional 1. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the warm water until the dough comes together. You want it soft and workable, without being crumbly or sticky. Add a little more water if it’s dry or a little flour if it’s too sticky. 2. Gently knead into a ball. Divide in half, then halve those pieces, then halve again to make 8 pieces. Flatten each piece between two sheets of parchment paper. Keep covered and let rest while you make the taco meat. 3. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet, adding the grated onion and garlic as it cooks. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion and garlic are tender. Drain excess grease if needed. 4. Stir in the water, Better Than Bouillon, and taco seasoning. Simmer uncovered until the excess liquid cooks off and the meat is nice and saucy without being watery. 5. Add enough oil to a separate skillet to generously cover the bottom with no dry spots. Heat over medium heat until a small piece of dough sizzles when added. 6. Carefully place the flattened dough in the hot oil, working in batches. Fry about 1–2 minutes per side until puffed and golden brown. When the bottom and edges are golden, flip and cook the other side. Adjust the heat as needed. 7. Drain on paper towels, then pile on the taco meat and your toppings. For my seasoning recipe, search “Brooke’s Zesty Lime Taco Seasoning” with “Cook with Brooke” or “Brooke Brown.” It’s seriously so freaking good. #tacos #recipe #familydinner #easyrecipe #frybread

Farmer's Breakfast (Breakfast Scramble) You asked for the breakfast scramble, so here it is! 🍳🥔 This is basically my take on a farmer’s breakfast: simple potatoes, bacon, onions and eggs cooked together into one very filling skillet. • 4 medium potatoes, peeled + diced small • 1 medium onion, diced • 1 lb bacon, chopped • 8 eggs, beaten • 1 tbsp butter • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste • 1/2 tsp garlic powder • 1/2 tsp onion powder • 1/2 tsp paprika • 1/2 tsp black pepper • 2–3 tbsp water • 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese • Green onions, optional • Ketchup for serving, optional Rinse the diced potatoes well in cold water, then drain and pat mostly dry. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for about 8–10 minutes. When it’s almost done, add the onion and cook another 3–5 minutes, until softened. Remove the bacon and onion but leave the bacon fat behind. Add the butter, then the potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika and toss well. Add a splash of water, cover and let the potatoes steam for about 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 10–15 minutes, tossing every few minutes, until tender inside and golden outside. Add the bacon and onions back in, pour over the beaten eggs and cook for about 3–5 minutes, stirring gently, until the eggs are set. Cover with cheese, let it melt, then finish with green onions if you have them. And yes, we’re a ketchup-on-our-breakfast-scramble household. 😂 #BreakfastForDinner #FarmersBreakfast #BreakfastScramble #BreakfastSkillet #DinnerIdeas #FamilyDinner #EasyDinnerIdeas #PotatoRecipes #BreakfastIdeas #WhatsForDinner

Arroz con Pollo (ACP) 🧀🍗 This is easily one of our FAVORITE family dinners. It’s the version of arroz con pollo I always ordered at Mexican restaurants when I lived in Virginia: Mexican rice, seasoned chicken, and an absolutely unreasonable amount of queso. 😂 I couldn’t find it prepared this way after moving to Washington, so eventually I learned to make it myself. Now it’s on our table at least once a month! For the rice: • 1 batch Mexican restaurant-style rice 👉 I use the recipe from @jessvesco. I tried SO many recipes before finding this one, and her method works perfectly for me every single time! For the chicken: • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced • 2 Tbsp oil • 2 Tbsp water • 1 batch homemade fajita seasoning Fajita seasoning: • ½ Tbsp chili powder • ½ Tbsp ground cumin • 1 tsp garlic powder • ½ tsp paprika • ½ tsp dried oregano • ½ tsp kosher salt • ¼ tsp ground black pepper For the queso: • 1½ lbs white American cheese, from the deli counter • 8 oz pepper jack cheese • 2 cups milk Directions: Prepare your Mexican rice according to your favorite recipe. Toss the sliced chicken thighs with the oil, water and fajita seasoning. Cook the chicken in batches over high heat until cooked through with plenty of browned, slightly crispy edges. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the chicken sears instead of steaming. For the queso, combine the white American cheese, pepper jack and milk over low heat. Stir frequently and melt everything together slowly until completely smooth and creamy. No roux needed! To serve, start with a generous bed of Mexican rice, pile on the chicken, and smother the entire situation in queso. This one takes a little more time (and a LOT more cheese) than most of my weeknight dinners, but it’s still cheaper than taking a family of four out to eat. And there are NEVER complaints when ACP is for dinner. 😂 #ArrozConPollo #ACP #ChickenAndRice #MexicanRestaurantStyle #FamilyDinner #DinnerIdeas #RealisticDinners #ChickenRecipes #ComfortFood #WhatsForDinner
