I am a crispy tater tot.
A full week in the sand and surf has me golden brown & peelin’ all over – just the way I like it!
I was, like, so adventurous on this trip.
AKA I got in the water. This is not something I do. Mostly because I have a fear that the mere sight of my limbs entering water attracts deadly sea creatures. I basically required toddler water wings, but I did it! However, I did make Garr float with me because he would obviously be tastier to the sharks.
I also got on a boat & didn’t vomit at the thought of being lost at sea with nothing but a volleyball for a BFF. Success!
Time: 30 minutes (prep + cooking) | Serves: 4-5
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of the green of your choice
- 1 can of black beans, rinsed + drained

- 1/2 a red onion, diced
- 6 tortillas, cut in thin strips
- 1 tbsp. of olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup of cilantro leaves
- 1.5 tbsp. of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 avocado
- S+P, to taste
- 1/4 cup of water
How to:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Arrange tortilla strips on a lined baking sheet
- Drizzle with olive oil + S+P
- Bake for 10 minutes, toss, bake another 2-4 minutes
- Meanwhile, combine lettuce + black beans + corn + red pepper + onion + 1/2 of the lime juice + S+P, set aside
- In a food processor, combine avocado + cilantro + garlic + yogurt + 1/2 of the lime juice + S+P + water
- Pulse until smooth
- Dress salad with dressing
- Find blank wall in house + practice finger painting using only the juices from the salad
Idea for the dressing came from here!

Sounds like a great week of not getting eaten in the water!! And putting baked tortilla strips in a salad is the best idea ever.

Prepared a killer charcuterie board last weekend and found it delicious. You ever eat any of that hard salami? It’s a dry sausage which works well on a charcuterie. I like sausage, almost any kind, except liver based sausages. Won’t do ’em. Don’t much care for Vienna Sausages either. Never understood why you’d put baby hot dogs in water and a can. But just about any sausage works for me.

Yes. at least the ocean critters were friendly towards you. The salad looks amazing and what better dressing that that (my favorite). Remember to drag your feet in the ocean water-getting stung by a stingray is no fun just sayin’. 🙂
