Goodmorning everyone:)

Today I'm making a new recipe. Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas:thumbup:


I'm serving it with rice and a tomato/cucumber salad:chef:
 
DH is gone for 3 days....so DS and I are just playing. I won't be cooking much - we might have leftover Mac n Cheese, or we might have PB&J's!
 
ham and not sure what else
 
I think I'm going to make the chicken enchilada ring...yummmmy!
 
hmmmm...corn rice and hamburger...mixed together in a spiced up spaghetti sauce and baked. A favorite at my house. Then I will be making PB no-bake cookies to eat and send some to my BF in Kuwait.

Since I am using post calls for Mondays show (70 invited) I will have PLENTY of time to do everything else tonight!!! Thanks KellytheChef!!!
 
Left overs. . .chicken, broc, pasta toss. . . nice and light pasta dish
 
I'm making the Sausage & Pepper Biscuit Frittata from the new SBRC. Except none of the grocery stores I've been to in the past 3 days (OK - both of them) have had basil. I'm not going past another one today (and won't make a special trip for one item), so they won't have the basil in them.
 
More in likely garlic fries and whatever else I get at the baseball game DH and I are going to tonight.
 
Steak (on the grill) with peppers & onions, oven roasted potatoes, corn on the cob.
 
There is a farmer's market in the parking lot where I work every Thursday so I went today and got potatoes, corn on the cob, seedless watermelon and a cantalope. I think I'll just bake the potatoes with olive oil and rosemary, boil the corn on the cob, cut up the fruit and call it dinner! I might not even make any meat. Unless my BF wants it - then I'll bake some chicken.

Don't turn on your oven! Roast them on the grill in the grill basket! When I do this, I parboil them first for 10 mins in teh batter bowl in the microwave, then drain, toss with oil and seasonings, and then in the grill basket they go!

Ann - are you going past any Farmers Markets? Basil is in good supply at the farmers markets around here! Or you could stop by and get some from my back yard herb garden!:D

There aren't many Farmer's Markets in my neck of the woods, although there is a farmstand about 1.5 miles from here (now that I think of it - although they never have signs up for herbs, just corn, tomatoes and pumpkins, usually). And if I'm not willing to make a special trip to the grocery store 5 miles from me, why would I drive clear across the state? Well, other than to come visit you. :D

'Cause my basil is free?:D
 
hmm... let's figure this out: 10 mile round trip to Meijer + $2 for basil = $3.25
6 hour round-trip to your house + free basil = lots more $$:D

Salmon steak on the grill, steamed broccoli & cauliflower & salad.And if I feel energetic, I might even make a dessert.... Maybe Summer Berry Shortcakes
 
given the mess in my kitchen / hall / dining area....the kids are eating Fiber One, All-Bran w Strawberries, and other healthy high-fiber cereals.
(Scary thing is.. they love things like bran buds, etc. weird, huh!?! I should add that to the other thread -lol).
 
Going to my sis in law to be's nurse pinning so we'll probably just eat chicken n rice left overs when we get home
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need for Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas?

To make Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas, you will need cooked chicken, tortillas, enchilada sauce, cheese, black beans, corn, bell peppers, onions, and spices such as cumin and chili powder. Optional toppings include sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.

How do I prepare the chicken for the enchiladas?

You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience or cook your own chicken breasts. Simply boil or bake the chicken until fully cooked, then shred it using two forks or a stand mixer. Mix the shredded chicken with spices and other filling ingredients before assembling the enchiladas.

What type of tortillas work best for Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas?

Flour tortillas are commonly used for enchiladas due to their softness and ability to hold fillings well. However, corn tortillas can also be used for a more traditional flavor. If using corn tortillas, consider warming them slightly to make them more pliable.

How long do I bake the enchiladas and at what temperature?

Bake the Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you prefer a golden top, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.

Can I make Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the enchiladas ahead of time. Assemble them and place them in a baking dish, then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they are cold from the fridge.
