These are some of my favorite Christmas recipes. There are other Christmas recipes on Cookies, Candy, and Other Sweet Recipesand Salads and Appetizers.
Easy Burrito
Casserole
1 to 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (can use
ground turkey)
1 can cream chicken soup
1 cup salsa (can use rotel tomatoes
w/chili peppers)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste
3 to 4 flour tortillas
1 package shredded cheese, mexican
blend or cheddar
corn tortilla chips
Brown ground beef in large skillet. Drain &
rinse beef and return to skillet. Add soup, salsa, & seasonings.
Stir & simmer until throughly mixed. Spray a casserole dish with
a non-stick cooking spray. Place a small amount of the beef mixture
on the bottom of the casserole. Quickly dip a flour tortilla into
warm water and place on top of beef. Continue layering beef, cheese,
flour tortilla, etc. ending with cheese. Place a couple of hand fulls
of crumbled cort tortilla chips on top. Bake at 350 for 20 to 30
minutes or until top begins to brown and casserole is bubbly. Serve
with sour cream, salsa, shredded lettuce, & chopped tomatoe.
Hints:
· If you like it hot, add sliced jalapenos
to the beef mixture or just layer them in.
· You can substitute the cream of chicken
soup for cream of mushroom.
· All of the seasoning can be increased or
decreased according to taste
Chicken Enchilada
Casserole
4 to 6 chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 to 3 cups chicken broth
1 tsp cumin or more to taste (can use
ground cumin, cumin seed or combination of both)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (can use 1 or
more cloves of garlic minced)
1/2 small can chopped green chili
peppers
(can use 1 jalapeno pepper finely
chopped if you like a hotter taste)1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 stick of butter
2 to 3 tablespoons flour
salt & pepper to taste
flour tortillas
grated cheese (can use cheddar or a
mexican blend is great!)
Boil the chicken breasts in water with a little
salt & garlic powder added to flavor the broth. When chicken is
done pick the meat off the bones, cut or tear into bite size pieces,
& set aside. Reserve the chicken broth. Melt butter in sauce pan.
Add onion & garlic if using cloves & cook until the onion is
transparent. Sprinkle in the flour and stir quickly to make a paste.
Quickly add the chicken broth. Stir until paste is blended. Add cream
of chicken soup, peppers, cumin, salt & pepper. Stir & simmer
about 10 minutes until thick. Add more broth if needed. Add chicken
and mix together. Layer chicken mixture with tortillas & cheese
in a 9x11 casserole dish starting with the chicken mixture and ending
with the cheese (quickly dip tortillas in hot water one at a time
before layering). Bake in 350° oven for 20 to 25 minutes or
until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly. Garnish with torn
lettuce and chopped tomato. You may also serve with sour cream and
guacamole.
Hints:
· This casserole can be made ahead of time
& refrigerated or placed in the freezer. If you freeze it, just
allow it to thaw before placing in oven.
· You can cook the chicken ahead of time
or use canned chicken and canned broth for a real time saver.
· I spray my casserole dish with a cooking
spray before layering ingredients which makes clean-up a breeze.
