Well, Melanie brought dessert to the recent Big Time Game Night, and I had the honor of bringing some kind of finger sized appetizer….and I took it literally! These little tomato and chicken stuffed tortilla shells were an absolute hit! The mild spice and smokey flavor of chipotle made these delectable and the cold and refreshing guacamole I whipped up for dipping kept things balanced!
Give these a try, they don’t take very long to make and they’ll fly off the plate! Read on past the break for the full directions and ingredients list.

I always find that roasting whole chickens is one of the simplest, and tastiest, recipes you can create for a family meal. This latest whole chicken recipe that I made reminded me of summer – the lemon and rosemary. To create more of a summer recipe, try cooking this chicken rotisserie style on the barbecue.
