Dear Rachael Ray:
See that taco up there? That is some SERIOUS ugly. What you can’t tell from that picture is that the kids and I basically dumped out a pound of chicken in the garbage disposal because they were so disgusting.
And while I like to say that I’m not a great cook, I have to say… I’m pretty sure this is YOUR fault.
Now, when The Princess found this recipe in one of your kids’ cookbooks, I was kind of excited. I mean, TACOS. I really love tacos. Plus, with my kiddo picking out the recipe, that gives her a level of being invested in the process – maybe she wouldn’t complain about dinner. Wouldn’t that be a refreshing change of pace?
But the thing is, I could tell once I started cooking that this recipe would be a fail. And I should have known from reading the recipe first and seeing the flavors used and the method of cooking.
Essentially, your recipe treats these chicken tacos as though they were a regular ground beef taco.
YOU CANNOT DO THAT RACHAEL.
It’s not the same.
And then I got close to getting done and I was already trying to think of graceful ways to duck out of actually eating this dinner too, not wanting to discourage the kids.
“Mom, I’m… I… I don’t think I want this,” The Princess stammered.
“GOOD! ME NEITHER!” I replied. And then I wasted all that chicken by cramming it down the garbage disposal and running the water until I could get the stench of chili powder out of my nose.
Not good, Rach.
I’m only hoping the internet can help me out with a do-over – maybe they can give me a tried and true non-sucking chicken taco recipe. Maybe good ol Ree has one. In any case, I think that even if I had opened a pack of instant taco seasoning, it’d have been better than this ugly mess.
Yummo? Not even close.
Sincerely and craving tacos,
Sarah
