Baked Chicken Fajitas

"If you are looking for a super simple and tasty dinner recipe, baked chicken fajitas is it! It has all the components of your favorite fajitas but without all of the work."  

Comment from Six Sisters Stuff

When I think of fajitas, the vision of sitting in a Chili's Restaurant with a server passing by with a sizzling plate of fajitas and the intoxicating aroma hits you as it goes by.  It always leaves me wishing that I had ordered fajitas!

I love fajitas the traditional way served with tortillas, but being the rice lover that I am, it is also very much enjoyed over rice.  Either white rice or mexican rice.  Outstanding meal!!  Try it on the side the next time you make fajitas and you won't be sorry (unless you are not a rice lover).

Easy Bake Taco Casserole

"Taco casserole’s been in my dinner rotation long enough for me to know exactly where it can go wrong. It’s usually with bland beef, soggy layers, or so many shortcuts that it loses all its charm. I built mine to avoid every one of those pitfalls. The seasoning is bold, the tortillas hold their structure, and the flavors melt together in the oven just right. It’s simple, yes, but the kind of simple that still earns compliments every time it hits the table."  Comment from Sweetly Splendid

Love this taco that doesn't fall apart!  I love tacos, but they are not fun to eat.  This casserole sounds and looks delicious.

Chimichangas

"You know what’s better than a burrito? A deep-fried burrito. The chimichanga is a staple of southwestern and Tex-Mex cuisine that’s similar to a burrito, with various fillings wrapped inside a tortilla then fried until golden brown. They taste best smothered with salsa, guacamole and sour cream, topped with cheese and lettuce, and served with rice and beans. This chimichanga recipe features onions, tomatoes, and green chiles in the filling, plus diced potatoes for some starchy goodness. If you prefer a more traditional option, use refried beans."  Comment from Taste of Home

Chimichangas are my very favorite mexican meal.  I'm so happy to have a recipe I can make at home.

"Fast food is not always the best answer to “what’s for dinner?” and lucky for us, making Crunchwrap Supremes at home is easier than you think. In fact, call your family and friends into the kitchen to help. Prep the ingredients ahead of time and set them out for everyone to build their own. Then, pop them on the griddle to brown and warm through as they’re built."  Comment from Simply Recipes

These Crunchwrap Supremes are my favorite from Taco Bell.  Looks easy enough to make at home.  Love texmex!

If you're thinking chicken tortilla casserole looks like an easy-to-make supper that just might make everyone happy, well - you're right!  This casserole comes together in only 20 minutes, thanks to store-bought shredded rotisserie chicken and convenient pantry items like condensed soup, green chiles and corn tortillas.  Everything is layered, then baked until bubbling and melted."  Comment from Taste of Home

"One of our most popular chicken dinners ever, these creamy enchiladas are easy to make at home. Layer a 13×9-inch pan with tortillas stuffed with leftover chicken, cream cheese and spices, then pour over a quick enchilada sauce. Feel free to add or subtract chiles, or vegetables like chopped peppers or corn."  Comment from Taste of Home

One of my favorite meals that I have never made.  This recipe has cream cheese and really sounds delicious to me.  It is one of those recipes that is very versatile . . . I would use pork instead of chicken for a change.

"These corn tortillas are the real thing! A simple mixture of masa harina and water results in the most wonderful corn tortillas you've ever tasted. The secret is to use a cast iron pan." comment about corn tortillas recipe from All Recipes.

The Captain and I made homemade corn tortillas all the time.  They were excellent even using a stainless steel frying pan.  The difference between homemade and store bought is like night and day.  We made tortilla chips using the same dough.

A mix of sour cream and cream cheese (low-fat if you like) builds a super-smooth base. And a top layer of fresh vegetables creates a dash of crunch." - description of recipe from Taste of Home.

This taco dip is like one I used to make a long time ago that was always one of the first things to go.  Everyone loved it.  I have the recipe around here somewhere and I will post when I find it.
