Honestly Delicious Tacos

I picked up a Chicken from the market, In aspirations of making a childhood favorite below. BUT i didnt have the heart to pour canned soup & processed cheese over delicious boiled chicken :) - So I threw that plan out the window and created Honest-to-Goodness Delicious good Tacos!


Chicken
  • Over medium heat in a skillet swirl EVOO when warm saute celerly and onions to desired onion clearity
  • Add shredded chicken (from the chicken I boiled the night before) after brown browning to desired deliciousness
  • then add a can of chopped tomatoes and green chilies.





Beef
Over medium heat Place beef in skillet & start browning
While browning chop up Zucchini and squash, honey onion, Mushrooms, green onions
(basically every veggie i found in the fridge)
By the end of my chopping, my meat is at a good brown-to-pink ratio & moisture is peaking
(if you know what I mean:)
*sprinkle with seasoning* (onion powder, garlic salt, pepper & Cajun blend)
Cover meat-veggie mix to trap condensation that'll steam veggies
Stir to prevent sticking to be bottom & watch your heat to prevent bottom burn
When desired tenderness is achieved -remove lid
& turn up heat & continue tossing until juice has condensed to a well seasoned skillet
Add taco seasoning pack - follow their suggested prep instructions.

**These where GOOD! especially w/the colorful veggie chunks**

Chicken Enchilada Casserole

My mom used to make the best Green Chile Ckicken Enchilada Casserole using tortilla chips (reminds me of an Allsup's Chimi *yum*)- so Instead of calling and asking mom to search through her OVERSTUFFED recipe binder -I searched up this recipe. It's bookmarked queued to my to cook list!




Chicken Enchilada Casserole

3 Plump chicken breasts (about 2.5 cups)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 soup can of milk
1 6 oz. can chopped green chiles
1/2 cup chopped white onion
Bag of tortilla chips
Picante sauce or Salsa
Shredded cheddar cheese or Velveeta
(I prefer the Velveeta, it melts better and makes the casserole cheesier)

Boil chicken breasts til done. Chop or tear into bite size pieces. Layer tortilla chips on the bottom of long casserole dish and press to loosely crush. Place chicken on tortilla layer. Mix together soup, milk, green chiles and onion. Add a little salsa if desired.
Pour over chicken. Cover with the shredded cheese or slices of Velveeta or go crazy and use both. With one handful at a time, lightly crush tortilla chips as you sprinkle them over cheese layer. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes. Serve with salsa and a dollop of sour cream.
