4. MINI FIESTA BURGERS

These burgers are adorable, packed with flavor and on the table in half an hour. We mix ground beef with Litehouse® Freeze Dried Red Onions, and Ginger to build flavor from the inside. Then we top these cuties with a quick corn and avocado salad, flavored with Litehouse® Freeze Dried Cilantro. And don’t forget to add a generous spread of our Cotija Cilantro Dressing to each bun before serving!

 

5. BLUE CHEESE TOMATO SOUP

Soup doesn’t have to mean spending hours hovering over a bubbling vat on the stove. This creamy and satisfying cheesy tomato soup takes only 35 minutes and brings all the comfort of fall to your table. Fresh tomatoes and savory bacon get a cheesy upgrade from Litehouse® Blue Cheese Crumbles. The result is a uniquely flavored tomato soup that doesn’t even need a grilled cheese on the side! …But we’re not saying you need to skip it 🙂 Get the recipe here.

Easy Fish Tacos with Litehouse Avocado Ranch Dressing
Ingredients
  • 1 tspSmoked Paprika
  • 1 tspGround Cumin
  • 1 tspDried Oregano
  • ½ tspGarlic Powder
  • ½ tspSalt
  • 1 ½ lbsCod or other flaky white fish, cut into fillets about 3 inches long

  • ½ cupLitehouse® Avocado Ranch Dressing
  • ½ cupFresh Cilantro, roughly chopped

Directions

Combine the paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl. Place the fish in a shallow baking dish, cover with the juice from one lime and the spice mixture. Let marinate for 15 minutes, rotating to ensure even coating. Heat the oil in a large skillet. When the oil is hot, add the fish. Cook until opaque and flakey, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove the fish from the heat and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving.Meanwhile, for soft tacos, wrap your tortillas in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to a minute, until warm and pliable. For crunchy tacos, heat a second skillet over medium-high heat and add the tortillas. Cook until lightly browned, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. It’s best to use tongs to flip the tortillas in a pan.Assemble your tacos by dividing the fish between the warmed tortillas, topping with red cabbage and sliced radishes. Drizzle with Litehouse® Avocado Ranch Dressing and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
