What a bunch of slackers!

Come on everyone, where are the recipes? I know you all have some amazing ones that need to be shared. I just keep waiting...... Okay so I'm not doing to great either, so here I go, here are a couple that we really love at our house, hope you guys will enjoy them too :)

Taco Soup
1 lb. hamburger
1 small onion, chopped fine
Brown the hamburger and onion, till burger is no longer pink, drain.

In a large pot or crockpot add the following:
1 can each of ; corn, chili, chili beans, kidney beans, green chilies, tomato sauce, lg. can pureed tomatoes (add juice from everything also)
1 packet taco seasoning
Add the hamburger and onion.
Simmer on low heat till heated through, or cook on low in crockpot.

Garnish with crushed tortilla chips, cheese, olives and sour cream


Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts (about 1/2 lb)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, divided (4 oz)
  • 1 cup picante sauce
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 1/2 cups bottled green taco sauce
  • 8 6-inch flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and saute onions until soft.
  2. Meanwhile, mix chicken,
  3. 1/2 cup cheese, picante sauce and cream cheese.
  4. Add to onions and cook over low heat until cheese begins to melt.
  5. Spoon about 1/3 cup filling on each tortilla ands roll up.
  6. Place enchiladas (seam side down) in a 9x13 baking dish.
  7. Drizzle with taco sauce and remaining cheese
  8. Cover and bake at 350F 15 minutes.
I usually use white corn tortillas, instead of flour, heat a pan on the stove and then heat the tortillas on both sides so they're pliable. I use either green or red enchilada sauce rather than taco sauce (not sure what the difference is). Very easy to make and soooo yummy.
