Thanksgiving has come and gone for those of us in the US, and I believe our international friends know how much we Americans tend to love our fall comfort foods on Thanksgiving! Now it's time for something light, healthier, and not quite a salad. I present today's Writing Fuel Recipe: Healthy Chicken Tacos!

Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken
1 pack taco seasoning mix
8 oz tomato sauce
2 tbl Roasted red pepper hummus
White corn taco shells
Lettuce/tomato optional

Writing Fuel Recipe: Healthy Chicken Tacos Directions:

In a medium sauce pan, cook the chicken until heated to correct temp (refer to package) while chopping often.
Use paper towels to absorb excess grease and discard paper towel.
Add seasoning pack and tomato sauce to the pan. Stir well, cover, and summer over low heat 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
Spread 1 tbl hummus per shell (on the inside) to replace cheese/sour cream and make tacos creamy.
Add 1/4 cup taco meat, and top with lettuce/tomato.

This post is for my fellow food-lovers! Japanese curry is my favorite Japanese food (and yes, I somehow managed to pick a favorite though I love many more!). I'll spare you the long unwanted tale behind why since I know you're here for the recipe! Here it is:. Writing Fuel Recipe: Japanese Curry

Ingredients:
1 baked potato, cubed (pro-tip, peel, wash, and rub your potato in oil before baking. Russet potatoes work great)
1 carrot sliced thinly (or 1/2 bag frozen sliced carrots)
1/2 white onion, peeled and chopped (or 1/2 bag chopped frozen onions)

Optional: 1 boneless skinless chicken breast baked through and chopped in bite-size pieces; preferably baked in chicken broth with 2 tsp soy sauce with a pinch of salt, ground pepper, ground ginger, and curry powder.

1 package Vermont curry OR Golden House curry (in a box, can be found at international markets)

2 tbs oil (preferably olive oil, canola oil, or peanut oil)

Writing Fuel Recipe: Japanese Curry
Directions:

In a large soup pot, add oil, carrots, and onions over medium-high heat. Cook until carrot are tender (you can use a spoon to easily cut them). - May need to reduce heat to medium if you use a non-stick skillet -

Add water, baked potato, and cooked chicken to the pot with the whole curry box (add water as per the directions on the curry box you purchased; usually about 3 cups).

Raise heat to high until boiling. Reduce heat to medium, and cook 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally (stirring OFTEN for non-stick pans) until curry is the consistency of a thick gravy.

Serving over cooked Japanese sticky rice (sushi-grade is perfect) is recommended.
