V's Southwestern Chicken Flat Pie

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:07:58 -0500

This is a recipe that is easy to assemble and has all the southwestern flavor I love. Using the convenience of refrigerated pie crust, you can make this dish in no time.

V's Simple Savory Mexican Quiche

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:42:45 -0500

This quiche is beautiful & delish! If you crave something savory for breakfast try my simple quiche. These are ingredients I always have on hand and can whip this up a head of time or in the morning. Measurements can be altered to taste. If you like spicy, savory add more, if not, add less. The salsa gives this quiche a nice kick and the flavors of cilantro, sausage and potatoes add to the taste and textures. This is a family favorite in my house. Great for overnight company as it feeds alot. Serve with sliced avocado, sour cream or salsa on the side. -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

Ranchero Beans

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:20:25 -0500

These are great on a cold night for dinner. While this recipe is for being doen on the stove top, I've often done it in the crockpot. I just don't saute everything, but throw it all into the crock, including the already fried bacon. Aso, when I use the crockpot, I'll often substitute out the can of beans for a multi-bean pack that I'll soak overnight (start them out in hot water) before I cook them in the crockpot. This was adapted from a recipe by Ingrid Hoffman on Food Network's Simply Delicioso. -- posted by skfritz525

Shelly's Chicken Tacos

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:53:11 -0500

When my mom made tacos, she used a McCormick seasoning packet and pre-made taco shells. I've always craved for something a little more authentic. I had these ingredients on hand one night, and just decided to wing it. So it's a super easy recipe, and I had fantastic results. These are what I would consider "street taco" style tacos. -- posted by Zelly Bell

Fabulous Fajitas

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:48:54 -0500

This recipe is based on wonderful fajitas served at a small authentic Tex-Mex restaurant near where I used to live. I have used this with both chicken and steak, flank steak or skirt steak, and it works great. I also mix a batch of the dry spices together and use a tablespoon or so when I make fajitas. The red onions, while not traditional, add a nice color to the fajitaas, but sweet yellow onions are more traditional. Note that the preparation time listed includes time to marinate. -- posted by UrbanDesiMommy

Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:20:40 -0500

I often make various versions of this flat enchilada dish, as it is quicker than rolling up the tortillas and tastes very much the same. (You could roll them for traditional enchiladas if you want to take the time.) This is one version I enjoyed, so I'm posting here for future reference. I hope you enjoy it too. I'm sure you could use regular cream cheese instead of the neufchatel cheese and plain cheddar cheese or Monterey jack cheese instead of the Mexican blend cheese and it would turn out the same. In fact, you could use pepper jack cheese and skip the jalapeno. -- posted by Cook In Southwest

Crockpot Gourmet Chili

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:18:45 -0500

This recipe is my own creation for healthy low fat chili with gourmet toppings. Regular chili needs to be dressed up for flavor and fun! The base recipe is very mild for the sensitive pallet. It is easy to make a 5-alarm version by adding cayenne or your favorite habanero sauce. Or, make everyone happy and serve the "super hot sauce" as an additional optional topping. The cool sour cream and tomatoes offset the heat of the chili. -- posted by Chef #1501865

Smoky Chicken and Chorizo Mexican Enchilada Baked Casserole

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 08:54:15 -0500

This recipe was made from leftovers and has been requested again ALREADY by Malcolm, my husband! Cooked chicken is mixed with smoky, hot chorizo sausage and folded through a chipotle chilli tomato sauce..........sounds too hot?! I then added some sweet corn, sour cream and a jar of mild salsa to calm it down a bit, but please DO use hot salsa if you like a little spice in your life! I topped this with a dollop of sour cream and dressed it with chopped jalapeno peppers, parsley and a little chopped coriander (cilantro) for a perfect cold weather lunch. I devised this recipe especially for the Two for One Leftovers event in the Cooking Photo's Forum. Please adjust the chilli powder to your own requirements. I like spicy food but Malcolm does not, so I topped mine with loads of chopped jalapeno peppers and a sprinkling of chipotle chilli powder!! NB: I used Spanish chorizo sausage, which is cured; if you are using fresh chorizo sausage, it needs to be browned beforehand.(I made this original recipe with leftovers from KissKiss's Recipe #368069. However, ANY cooked chicken will do for this!) -- posted by French Tart

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:00:05 -0500

I've made this recipe for my family and our friends and they really liked it. Its very simple to make and warms them up on a cold day. The left overs are just as good if not better than the day you make it. Instead of using the canned tamales, I started using the fresh or frozen ones. That really makes the difference. The canned ones are a bit oily to use but you can use them. you will need to drain them and pat them dry first. We like the pork tamales but you can use either beef, or chicken. The pork just taste better to us. -- posted by Chef #539018

Homemade Chili

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:04:01 -0500

Any time I see beef on sale, I think chili. This recipe comes together very easily and can be modified to fit your needs. I wrote an hour cook time but as long as you do not allow the chili to thicken too much and stick to the bottom of the pot, you can simmer for as long as necessary. If the chili does start to stick, add a cup of water at a time until it loosens. I served with a steam in the bag portion of Spanish rice and it was delicious! Feel free to garnish with whatever you like including cheese and sour cream. -- posted by carrie680

Enough of the justification: this is just plain good.

I like to leave the black beans whole, but you can make it creamy by mashing the beans. -- posted by Chef #1540606

Ferf's Famous Chili Seasoning Mix

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:52:45 -0500

This chili spice combination is my son's favorite so I named it after him. When my kids were both little my daughter could not pronounce "Christopher" so she called her brother Ferfer. The name has stuck and now we call him Ferf for short. This recipe is a combination of a few different other recipes and the spice mixture is just right for us. This would probably make a great gift too. -- posted by Nanita

Beef Fajita Stir Fry (Mark Bittman)

This is one of those recipes for which Mark doesn't give specific amounts. You just "intuit" it. I haven't tried this but am posting it here for safekeeping. Cooking and prep times are estimates (very wild guesses, actually). -- posted by coconutty

Spicy Shrimp Wraps

You don't have to heat up the kitchen to make this crowd pleaser. It is perfect to make, grab and go for a charming waterside gathering. We made this on the beach and placed the shrimp over bright green banana leaves and it looked so tropical! :) I could feel the the breeze from the Gulf - oh how beautiful! -- posted by Manami

Spicy Easy Corn Casserole (Without Egg!)

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:16:22 -0500

Needed to clear some cans out of my storage space. The result? A ridiculously simple casserole packed with flavor. Feel free to use your own spice mix or taco seasoning, I use Recipe #389616. Something like Green Giant Mexi-Corn would probably work nice in this but I worked with I had at hand. -- posted by the80srule

I tried to make a dressing similar to the one they give you with the taco salad at Qdobo. This came out different but still tasty. Yields a little over 2 cups. -- posted by the80srule
