Favorite Enchilada Sauce by Patrick Travis

When I was a kid growing up in the 50’s my folks had a rustic glazed terracotta casserole dish they bought in Mexico. Once or twice a month my dad would take the dish down to a little Mexican takeout place called Johnson’s Enchiladas and would have it filled with Johnson’s beef enchiladas. The enchiladas had a simple ground beef…

Mexican Chicken Soup by Mellie Duffy

This is a super easy, healthy, & inexpensive soup to make. It can be made spicier by using medium or hot salsa instead of mild salsa; but be sure to get thick & chunky salsa. For the 2 cups of cooked chicken breast, I cut up the breasts (about 2 large size) while they are…

Grilled Shrimp Tacos by Carolinaheartstrings

I cannot get enough of them. I love everything about this dish. Depending on how spicy you like your shrimp you can grill them with no spice, a little spice or lots of spice. I like mine grilled with just a dusting of chili powder. Use your favorite kind of shell, corn or flour, crispy or not and pile the shrimp high with my pico…

Simple and delicious Chicken tortilla soup by The Accidental Chef

One of my happy accidents made a great meal tonight. I wanted to make chicken tacos but didn't have the fresh produce I needed. One of the great things about the shorter days of fall is that the early dusk keeps me from going out in the evening. That means I make due with what I have. In any case, this is what we ended up with…
