Well I'm not Hispanic and I'm not drinking.....so what's the point of celebrating this holiday for me?!?!? It's a chance to eat!!!! Ok for me it's a chance to MAKE some good food!!!
Today I decided that instead of the regular old tacos for dinner, I was going to make my pure protein chicken enchiladas!!! That's right!!! No tortillas in this one.
I took some boneless, skinless chicken breasts and boiled them until they were just done. I let them cool then shredded them with a couple of forks. Then I took some cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, shredded cheese, and chicken taco seasoning and mixed them all together with the chicken. Oops, I guess I should tell you to save about a cup of the mushroom soup mixture (without the chicken) so you can pour it on top of the enchiladas after you have rolled them. My bad....hee hee hee.
As you can see I poured some of the sauce in the bottom of the pan so I wouldn't have to use any cooking spray. I took some chicken lunchmeat and put about 1/3 of a cup of filling on it and rolled it up. I filled them fairly full since I had a little more cheese in the mixture than normal....we're celebrating right?!?!?! lol.
I told you I filled them full right?!?!?! Yummm... And yes, these are the ingredients that I used, I'm not just selling Land O Frost lunchmeat!!! LOL.
After I got them all rolled up, I poured the rest of the sauce on top of them and sprinkled some more cheese on top. I put it into a 350 degree oven and cooked it until the cheese browned. Everything is already cooked before you put it in the oven so you are more or less just heating it through. Be sure and let them cool for a little bit before you serve them, or your guests will burn their mouths!!! I can tell you this from experience!!!
As far as serving sizes....it's up to you. I personally can only eat one roll up with my tiny stomach. But Jim, my hubby who is a eater, can usually only eat about 3 roll ups. So they are very filling!!!!! And oh sooooo good!!!!! If any of you try this, please send me some pics or how you liked them. I would love to add some chilies, onions, and other stuff, but Jim likes them this way.
So that is all we did for the holiday. We ate then went to bed!! LOL, we are such party animals!!! Woot woot!!!! I hope you all had a fantastic day today and I hope I've shared a new twist to an old favorite.
Until next time......
