From Nap to Table: My Easy Barquitas Weekend Dinner

 

I wasn’t able to write yesterday because my son got sick from something he drank at the restaurant we ate at and then I got sick in the middle of the night, too. We’re both okay now. 

Today, I’m sharing with you this super easy dinner we had last Sunday night. I’ve been napping a lot. PBF really took a toll on my body. It’s taking me a long time to recover. 

So, during weekends, I make sure to have easy meals ready so I can rest fully and not burn out after my naps. What’s the point of resting for 2 hours just to spend 2 hours in the kitchen, too?

We love tacos, quesadillas, tortillas, etc in our home. These are regulars on our menu, so I was very happy to find this at the grocery store a couple of weeks back. 

I checked the fridge for leftovers and found some rice and rotisserie chicken so I made those into adobo rice that I stuffed into these Barquitas. 

I then topped it with eggs. 

I thought that I overheated the Barquitas in the oven as they came out a little crunchy, but they went back to being soft as they cooled down. 

Other things I prepared were white corn tortillas, a simple salad, cheese salsa, beef salsa, and iced teas. 

My boys loved this spread so much. I did, too! It was simple, easy, and very filling. A perfect way to cap the weekend off.
