I am not Mexican but we love eating Mexican food at home. Going out can be expensive so I have been experimenting cooking at home. Family likes it. And I have to admit some recipes are easy. Ingredients
Preparation
Put water on a pot and bring in to boil. Once water begins to boil, add the chicken, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is completely done. Shred chicken into thin strands and set aside. In a skillet, heat oil to medium high heat. While oil is coming up to temperature, heat the tortillas on a comal (or in a dry skillet if you do not own a comal) until they are soft Put 3 tablespoons of shredded chicken on the bottom quarter of the tortilla and roll up. Secure with a toothpick. Form all the tacos and place them into the hot olive oil with the folded edge facing down (do they do not spill). Fry until golden and crispy, and place the tacos to drain on a paper towel. Serve hot tacos with shredded lettuce, Mexican crema, the crumbled queso fresco, tomate and salsa. Serve immediately Disclosure: I will be attending a media event with complementary passes, however all opinions expressed are my own.

Exercising does not have to be boring. As a matter of fact, it has to be FUN. That is why doing a 5k that is fun is so important. I joined some friends and we formed a team. We dressed up on neon lime green tutus and hot pink ripped tights. We laughed and we had a great time. I had a broken toe, so it was a little hard, but I finished. The water was cold and we got muddy. The course was in the mountains and going up the hill was a little challenging, but it was FUN. I really recommend that if you are looking to participate in any runs next year you look for the Dirty Girl Mud Run near you. Get your girlfriends, form a team and just have fun. You can run it, walk it or crawl it. Just do it and get dirty! Are you ready to get dirty?
