Two-egg omelet with spinach, onions and tomatoes and a little cheese. Topped with avocado and more tomatoes. So fresh and so good.
This was our dinner the other night after not wanting to make anything that would take too long. Get creative in your kitchen. You never know what you can come up with.

This is what I made for our Cinco de Mayo feast yesterday. Oven-baked chicken chimichangas. Topped with sour cream, fresh avocado and tomatoes. Also, I used pinto beans and corn inside this time, in addition to the chicken, cheese, and salsa.
