I don’t have kids. I mean… I don’t have children, per say. My two cats seem to be a lot of work, but since I’ve weaned them from their diapers, it’s pretty simple. Lots of my friends have tiny kids that seem to be a lot of work. Getting them ready for school, rushing them off to baseball or whatever it is that kids play when you can pull them away from their tablets and cell phones; all of those things that keep people busier than should be humanly possible. I was chatting about all of this with some friends recently and was asked for recipe suggestions to fit into the mix of quick things to make at home without having to grab fast food every night.
That’s how it all started. I certainly understand not wanting to come home and cook anything because you. are. exhausted. Maybe it’s that I am now in my (very early, thank you) 30’s. Adulting is tough, y’all.
My answer — Chicken Caesar Naan Tacos. Even those picky brat kids of yours will enjoy these.
I wish I had timed myself, because I think this may be the fastest recipe to make to date. I pulled out some leftover grilled chicken that I had (you could even use the kind in the bag that is already cooked in a rush), chopped some romaine, grabbed a pack of Stonefire Mini Naan, and fired up the grill.
I used naan recently in a sweeter post, Naan Campfire S’mores. I don’t even want to tell you how many I’ve had since posting that. It’s embarrassing. Marshmallow counts as a protein or something, right? I’ve been a long-time Stonefire customer, and was thrilled to partner with them to create a few unique recipes using the breads. For this recipe, I used the Mini Naan. It’s absolutely the perfect size for a great taco. I snatch these up and just keep a few in the freezer. They’ve become a staple in my house this summer.
You can find the naan in the bakery or deli department. I grabbed mine from my local Kroger. It is fresh, made without preservatives. You can cook it fresh, or freeze it for a rainy day. Grilling it adds the perfect amount of smoke to compliment the tacos.
I’m that dude that is trying to make burgers when the first snow hits. I love, love, love to grill, y’all. Can’t stop. Won’t stop. While charcoal is best for flavor, the faster gas option is what I ended up using this round. Why? Because I was tiiiiired. Remember? Adulting. — Heat it up on high while you prepare all of your ingredients and you will be ready to sizzle in no time. This is the best meal option for crazy school days, or weekend relaxing breaks.
Push those crazy school days, crazy work days, crazy summer days aside. 5 minutes and you have a perfect meal to share with friends and family.
Enjoy, y’all!

Ok, you had me at Fatty. Anyway, I love Stonefire Naan bread. I keep it around always. I use it for a bread substitute when camping. It doesn’t crush as easily in the camp food box. Anyway, love to make tacos for the guys when I do not want to cook. So this reminded me to use the Naan instead of the taco tortilla. (Hint, when I really want my guys to be happy, I sear some Chuck Eye steaks, slice um up and put them in tacos). Yeah that will be great in the Naan bread. They will be so happy. I must do this before Christmas so they know I’m being good, very good. Thanks, Phillip and Stonefire Naan bread!

I took leftovers to work after I made them and made evvvvvveryone jealous. My lunch > their lunch, and was ready in no time.
