June Meal: Mango Salsa Tacos with Cilantro Rice



June, July and August meals were all made in August. I feel a lot better when I tell you guys the truth.

Not even a week after we got back from the honeymoon we had a few couples over and prepared a big meal for them! They brought a few items to help us out. Teamwork. :)


Ingredients:
  • Mango Passion Fruit Salsa (found at Kroger, pictured)--this goes on top of the tacos and rice and makes everything taste extremely good! If you want to add a slice of avocado you can too!
  • 2 Limes
  • Cilantro
  • Can of black beans
  • Basmati White Rice (we did NOT buy this kind and it clumped up-lesson learned)
  • Soft Taco shells (Thanks Jessica and Rusty!)
  • Meat: we went with grilled chicken and steak. Clay picked these up at Whole Foods where they pre-seasoned it.

Black Beans: pour can into a pot on the stove. After heating for several minutes squeeze one half of a lime into the pot. This gives it a little extra zest!




Rice: This is where I have no experience and need help! I tried to make cilantro lime rice but it didn't turn out at all. My goal was for it to taste like Local Lime's rice. Lofty goal I had there! I added juice from 1 lime and finely chopped cilantro. Next time I know to buy basmati rice instead of regular rice so it wont stick together. Any other advice is much appreciated!


We love fruit! Especially our berries. :)


Guacamole, salsa, cheese dip and chips from Cactus Jacks was delish! (Thanks Laura and Scott!)
