Homemade Chipotle...and a "Paleo" Disaster

Decided not to work out today and give my back another full day to rest...and I ended up falling asleep for like 2 hours.  Does over 1 hour even count as a "nap"?  Anyway, I'm alllll alone on a Friday night so I thought I would make something tasty for dinner.  For the record, Chipotle is cheaper but this was worth it (and there was more).

Guacamole
1 Haas avacado
1/2 a lime (the juice)
2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 jalapeno chopped (remove seeds)
salt to taste
dash of EVOO

Remove inside of avacado and put into mixing bowl.  Mash with a fork and mix in other ingredients.

Guacamole goes great on sweet potato chips.


Steak (seasoning)
1lb of steak
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp cumin
2 Tbsp oregano
4 cloves garlic
1/2 red onion

Sprinkle the seasoning on both sides of the steak.  Heat a little bit of EVOO (do you like how technical I am) into a non-stick pan.  Cook red onions for 1 min. and then add the steaks.  Cook until done, only flipping once.  Remove steak and cut into bite size pieces.

Fajita Vegetables
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp cumin
2 Tbsp oregano
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
3/4 red onion
2 bell peppers

Chop up onion and bell peppers into strips.  Heat a small amount of EVOO in a pan and toss in vegetables and seasonings.  Don't cook too long or use too much oil, as you want these veggies to still be crisp when they're done.

You can also make fresh salsa if you'd like.  I just bought some from Harris Teeter, as they have a pretty good one.


mmmm, best thing ever...


Dessert
If you'd like to completely ruin your strict paleo diet you should def. indulge in a glass of Pinot Noir and some Dark Chocolate (80%+).  Even though it is fine for paleo, it has no place in a strict 30 day challenge.  I messed up (unintentionally).  Shout out to Ashley and Jonathan Denton for calling me out!  Thanks guys!

Only cheaters...well, cheat!
