Here in Montana the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and we are pulling out our grill and dusting it off (before the cold comes back)! We are Texans and if you know anything about Texans it’s that we like our spices! These jalopeno poppers will hit the spot if you are looking for something spicy and Paleo friendly for your next barbecue get together or tailgate party! The traditional stuffed jalopenos have cheese of some sort in it. Pre-paleo we stuffed it with everything from Boursin to cream cheese to cheddar. Now that we don’t have dairy in our diets we were seeking a creamy alternative to the cheeses. That is how guacamole stuffed peppers were born! We already had guacamole made up (I can add the recipe later) so I sliced the peppers down the center, stuffed them with guacamole, wrapped in bacon and stuck a small skewer stick through them. My husband grilled these, but you could just as easily make them on the stove top in a skillet. We thought for sure that when they were cooked that the guacamole would turn brown, but we were surprised to see that it stayed green (and delicious)! What started as some kind of experiment turned out to be a hit! Now we will be making these for every get together! Here is our version of guacamole stuffed peppers.

Ingredients: 
Large jalopeno peppers (As large as possible)
Guacamole (either pre-made or home made)
Bacon

My husband and I try to cook on the grill every weekend. We cook enough to eat for the entire week and incorporate into our dinner and lunch meals. This weekend we grilled some seasoned skirt steak to slice up for Fajitas! We also use the same skirt steak in our omelets and to top our salads with! I use either Montreal Steak Seasoning (Not super Paleo) or Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute to season our beef with! This is a simple and easy to put together meal that we eat often because we loved traditional fajitas!

There are a couple of ways to eat this. You can chop everything up and throw it in a bowl to make a fajita bowl, or you can use the romaine leaves as a wrap for the rest of the ingredients. The wrap can be kind of messy, but if you are wanting a true fajita this is the way to go! Either way it is a delicious, healthy and satisfying meal!

I get asked many times if my kids eat what we eat. My 7 year old will eat almost anything, he has no problem with greens and “strange” ingredients. Now, my 5 year old is super picky. For this meal he would have taken the strips and dipped them in the guacamole. We don’t change our meal plans for the kids, they eat whatever it is that I fix and this works well for our family!

One of my favorite Pre-Paleo restaurants is Chipotle Mexican Grill. I would get a Chipotle Chicken bowl full of black beans, corn, sour cream, chicken, guacamole and my all time favorite food: cilantro lime rice! For 8 months I haven’t stepped foot in a Chipotle and the craving for a Chipotle chicken bowl hit hard this week! I was looking through my Paleo recipe books and NomNom Paleo had a stir-fry rice recipe and I had the thought that it would be simple enough to make a cilantro and lime “white rice” recipe out of cauliflower! I made it and the whole meal took MAYBE 10-15 minutes to prepare and put in a bowl. Let me tell you… the Chipotle Chicken Bowl will blow your mind! It is THAT good! I can’t wait to make other “rice” recipes and try my hand at Paleotizing some of our pre-Paleo favorite foods!

Paleo Hack: Chipotle Chicken Bowl

Ingredients:
1 head of Cauliflower washed and cored
1/2 cup chopped cliantro
1/4 cup lime juice
Salt
Chicken breast (I used Applegate farms pre-cooked chicken breast because I stink at cooking chicken breast!) Guacamole (I used organic Wholly Guacamole)
Ghee, Butter or Coconut Oil
1 Cored, seeded and diced jalopeno (optional)

Instructions:

1) Wash and core the head of cauliflower and cut into chunks big enough to throw in a blender or food processor. Now, I do not have a food processor for this step so I used my Ninja Kitchen System Blender and pulsed the cauliflower. I am told that you can also use a cheese grater and grate your Cauliflower. Basically you just want the cauliflower diced into “rice” sized pieces.

3) Warm the chicken (or cook it if you cook chicken).
4) Add the remaining juice and cilantro to the rice and toss to coat.
5) Place “rice”, chicken and guacamole in the bowl and serve!
