A Meal To Write Home About...

Hey all, it's Di! We had the missionaries over for dinner, and we had a Mexican Feast! I thought I would post what we had in honor of Cinco de Mayo (sp?) tomorrow!
We had Chicken Enchiladas!
This is how I made them. You'll need:
Corn tortillas
1 Bag Frozen Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 small jar or 2 cups of salsa
Chicken taco seasoning (or just regular taco seasoning)
3 c. sour cream, divided
chopped onions (I prefer green)
3 cans cream of chicken soup
Shredded pepper jack cheese
Shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c. milk
1 minced garlic clove

Follow the directions for Beth's crock pot chicken that she posted previously only with larger portions. The one where you add chicken, salsa, taco seasoning to a crock pot. So, when it's all done cooking and you add the sour cream, add one cup of sour cream instead of 1/4 cup, and also add a can of cream of chicken soup. If it's too dry, add some milk. This is the filling for the enchiladas.
Next, saute the onion and garlic with a little oil in a pot. When it's soft, add 2 cans cream of chicken soup and 2 cups of sour cream and 1/2 c milk. This is your sauce.
Assemble the enchiladas in a greased 9x13 baking dish by spooning the filling into the corn tortillas, sprinkle in some pepper jack cheese and roll them up (my tortillas always break apart, just smoosh them down or something). When you are finished rolling, pour the sauce over the top and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

I'm sorry I don't have measurements. I just throw it all together, and a lot of times there is leftover filling and sauce, so I make a smaller pan and freeze it.

We also had chips and Salsa. Here is my Pantry Salsa...
3 cans diced tomatoes (with or without chilies)
1/2 can jalapenos or one cut up jalapeno pepper
4 diced green onions or 1/2 a regular onion
1 cup of cilantro or parsley (cilantro is obviously better)
Juice of one lime
1 minced garlic clove
3 drops of hot sauce like Tabasco
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper

Throw all the ingredients into a food processor or blender and mix until desired consistency. Play around with the spice. If you don't like spicy then add fewer drops of hot sauce. Remember, you can always add more heat, but you can't take it away!

We also had salad and corn and for dessert, we had Adrianne's Mexican Cheesecake with strawberries and whipped cream! MMMmmmmmmmmm!! The above are pictures of Adrianne's cheesecake, so you know we really tried it! Post more, girlfriend! And of our Elders enjoying dessert!
