The Best Nachos




The Best Nachos
I started out with tostado chips. 
(Walmart has the best chips for $2.00!)
Place in bottom of pan.
Then basically you layer whatever you want.
I had some leftover taco meat so that was my next layer!

On top of that I put a layer of shredded cheese!
Then I used drained &rinsed
black beans and yellow corn.
I added a few spices such as chili powder and
coriander, cumin, salt and pepper.

Then, I added baby tomatoes, cilantro, black olives and more cheese. 
Really you can add anything that you like.
Preheat oven 350.
Bake 7-10 minutes
Serve with avocado, salsa and sour cream!
Serve hot!
Absolutely delicious!
Enjoy!

Chicken Enchiladas






Yummy....Mom's Banana Pudding!

We have had so many birthdays in the family lately, we decided to all put a dinner together at my house to celebrate. Everyone brought something.
Our Menu was:
Chicken Enchiladas
Refried Beans
Spanish Rice
Chips & Salsa
My Moms banana pudding ( I added a picture for you)
Fresh Fruit
We had a wonderful time! My grandchildren have a Nintendo Wii. That was so much fun. The games are so realistic. I tried the bowling and loved it. I hope you enjoy my chicken enchilada recipe.
Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients:
10 Flour Tortillas
2 cans Mild Enchilada Sauce
Lg. Bag Shredded Mexican Cheese
1 1b. boneless cooked Chicken
2 cans Cream of chicken soup
1 lg. container of Sour Cream
Fresh Ground Pepper
Mix sour cream and soup together and set aside.
Pour enchilada sauce onto a cookie sheet. Take your flour tortillas one at a time and coat both sides with sauce. Put approx. 1 tbsp. of shredded cooked chicken inside of tortilla. Add 1 big tbsp. of soup/sour cream mixture and add a pinch of cheese. Roll up and put into baking pan. After filling pan, pour any leftover soup mixture and enchilada sauce on top of rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese & freshly ground pepper. Bake 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until heated through.
* I made a lot of enchiladas for a big family so just adjust recipe as needed.
Interesting Hint: Did you know if you don't have cream of chicken soup but do have chicken noodle soup, you can just zap it in the blender and magic.....you have cream of chicken soup!

Maranda's Taco Soup/Salad



Our daughter Maranda came over and brought this soup Saturday night to share with us. It was so good. She also brought avocados and made guacamole. We really enjoyed her visit. We watched some home movies and enjoyed this soup together.

2 pounds ground beef ( We use ground turkey)
2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans pinto beans
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can kidney beans
1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can rotel tomatoes with chiles
1 (1-ounce) package ranch salad dressing mix
1 package of taco seasoning mix
Corn chips
Sour cream, for garnish
Grated cheese for garnish
Brown the ground beef or turkey; drain the excess fat, then transfer the browned meat to a slow cooker or a stockpot. Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, taco seasoning mix and ranch dressing mix, and cook in a slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours or simmer over low heat for about 1 hour in a pot on the stove. To serve, place a few corn chips in each bowl and ladle soup over them or serve like a taco salad. Top with sour cream & cheese & guacamole.

I have never made this, but it was great. Maranda said it is so simple to make. We enjoyed the leftovers tonight. It was so delicious! Thank you Maranda!
