When you want something different for dinner, start with the ingredients you already have. Eggs, tortillas, beans, or a baked potato can become a meal you look forward to with a few simple additions.
A spoonful of Stockyards Smoked Jalapeño Salsa adds tomato, pepper, and onion flavor without another sauce to make. Here are five ways to turn familiar ingredients into your next meal.
1. Finish your favorite tacos
Fill warm tortillas with your choice of cooked chicken, beef, beans, or roasted vegetables. Add shredded cabbage or lettuce, then spoon salsa over the top. Set out lime wedges and let everyone finish their own tacos. Keeping the salsa on the side also makes it easy to choose just how much goes into each bite.
2. Give breakfast a little more flavor
Serve salsa over scrambled eggs or beside a breakfast quesadilla. For a breakfast bowl, start with roasted potatoes, add eggs or beans, and finish with salsa and avocado. It is a simple way to change up familiar ingredients without making another sauce.
3. Build a rice-and-bean bowl
Start with warm rice, black beans, and roasted peppers or zucchini. Add salsa, sliced avocado, and a squeeze of lime. Keep the vegetables and toppings separate if everyone at the table likes a different combination. The same idea works with a base of quinoa or crisp salad greens.
4. Load a baked potato
Split a baked potato or sweet potato and fluff the center with a fork. Add warm beans, salsa, and your choice of shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions. A potato that might have been a side dish becomes the center of dinner.
5. Put it beside a crisp quesadilla
Make a cheese quesadilla, or tuck in cooked beans and vegetables. Cut it into wedges and serve salsa alongside for dipping. Adding the salsa at the table keeps the tortilla crisp and lets everyone help themselves.
