Tips for This Week's Meal Plan

On Sunday, be sure be to prepare extra chicken and rice to use later in the week. You can serve the chicken al pastor and rice as a bowl OR make tacos using the chicken and serve the rice on the side.
Use romaine lettuce to make a southwest salad (to serve with leftover baked chicken al pastor) and a side salad (and homemade ranch) to serve alongside the mac and cheese and chicken parmesan.
Use canned chipotles in adobo for the chicken al pastor and the sofritas.
Don't like tofu? Make extra chicken al pastor.
Use extra cheese from mac and cheese to slice and make grilled cheese.
