We just finished up sauté week and I wanted to give it a proper farewell. I’ve been wanting to make homemade tortillas again for a while and chicken fajitas gave me the perfect excuse! I added a bit of bacon grease, garlic powder, green onion and smoked paprika to the tortillas and it was soContinue reading “Ancho Chicken Fajitas”

Ancho Chicken Enchilada Casserole
I found some long lost tortillas in the freezer that were too stiff to make enchiladas with. So, I made chicken enchilada casserole instead! It also meant that I could use up the chile pork stock I saved from the last time I made enchiladas. Win win! Chicken Filling: 1 ½ lbs Boneless-skinless Chicken ThighsContinue reading “Ancho Chicken Enchilada Casserole”
Green Chile Chicken Flautas
First time making and trying flautas! I was forced to eat frozen taquitos when I was younger and haven’t been interested in rolled tacos since. But I had some rotisserie chicken I needed to use up and I saw a post on instagram that looked so delicious! 15 uncooked Flour Tortillas 4 cups Rotisserie ChickenContinue reading “Green Chile Chicken Flautas”
Korean Bulgogi Tacos
Taco Tuesday with a twist in memory of my older brother. It’s Seoul Food! (he’d totally have laughed at that pun) Korean Bulgogi Tacos with Cauliflower Fried Rice and the Jjigae (Tuna Kimchi Stew) leftover from the memorial. It was so great making homemade kimchi with my sister-in-law and our moms. Bulgogi Sauce: ⅓Continue reading “Korean Bulgogi Tacos”
Crispy Grilled Elk Tacos
These delicious little tacos really hit the spot! I normally double up my tortillas, but they held up brilliantly when frying and didn’t need any extra structural support. The marinade is key to perfectly tender elk meat, as this was an old bull and his meat was a bit on the tough side. Elk: 2Continue reading “Crispy Grilled Elk Tacos”

Breakfast Enchiladas
This recipe turned out so good! And I did end up recording a video of how it’s made. Yay! I was afraid that the sausage gravy would clash with the Enchilada Sauce, but they actually tasted really good together. Now I have breakfast for a few days! Served with Bacon Veggie Skillet Potatoes. Sausage Gravy: 1Continue reading “Breakfast Enchiladas”

Tonight I made them for Green Chile Chicken Quesadillas, but they have so many delicious uses. 2 cups Flour 1 teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon Baking Powder ¼ cup Bacon Grease ¾ cup Hot Water Mix dry ingredients in aContinue reading “Homemade Flour Tortillas”
Smoky Ancho Chicken Quesadillas
I made quesadillas for lunch and they were so quick to make! I wasn’t happy with the tortillas I made last night so I made a second batch. So much better! Of course, you can use store-bought tortillas but I highly recommend making them from scratch at least once! Ancho Chicken: 3 large Chicken ThighsContinue reading “Smoky Ancho Chicken Quesadillas”
Home Fried Tortilla Chips
I found a tortilla press on clearance and really wanted to try my hand at making tortilla chips! I was so shocked at how much better they tasted fresh and the recipe was so simple. Paired with some Chunky Guacamole and Cantina Salsa, it’s a definite crowd pleaser for a party or Taco night! ForContinue reading “Home Fried Tortilla Chips”
