BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Tacos
Tacos are my “single girl” food. You know, the food that you make whenever your partner, kids, or roommates are out of town and you get to sit down and be really honest about what you and only you feel like eating? I never tire of them and am always looking for ways to amp up my taco game.

Chicken Enchiladas Verdes
Do you ever cook with tomatillos? They look like little lanterns, with their green papery husks.

Shrimp Quesadilla
Quesadillas have to be my favorite go-to food for lunch. They’re just so easy to make! Especially when you have tortillas and cheese in the fridge, which we almost always do.
