Cowboy Quesadilla's

I made these tonight and loved them! So simple, I had everything on hand that the recipe called for (which is my FAVORITE thing, not having to go to the store for recipes!) I whipped them up and they were so delicious. I didn't really follow the measurements, just kind of eyed it, I did 1 C. of rice, 1 can of black beans and then a little more of everything else and it turned out great!

Cowboy Quesadillas
Recipe by Our Best Bites
1/2 C white rice
1/3 C black beans
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1/3 C fresh frozen corn kernels (no need to thaw)
2/3 C diced tomato
3 Tbs sliced green onion
1 1/2 C shredded cheese (any type or combo you like)
1/4 C bbq sauce
6 small tortillas (fajita size, about 6″)

Dipping Sauce
equal parts bbq sauce and ranch dressing


Combine rice, beans, chicken, corn, tomato, green onion and shredded cheese.  Add bbq sauce and stir to combine.  Place about 1/3 C of mixture on half of each tortilla and fold over to close.

Heat a skillet to medium heat on the stove top.  When hot, spray lightly with cooking spray, or drizzle with canola or olive oil.  Place quesadillas in pan and cook for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp.  Flip and repeat on opposite side.  Cool for a few minutes and then serve with BBQ-Ranch dipping sauce. 

Sour Cream Enchilada's

I got this recipe from my friend Paige and I LOVE it, I make it at least once a month.

So easy and so delicious!

2 cans cream of chicken

1 4 oz can diced green chilies (I put in 2)

about 8-10 chicken tenders or 4-5 chicken breasts

1 1/2 C. sour cream

3 C grated cheese

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp salt

tortillas (I like to use corn)

Cook chicken and shred (I like to dice into bite size pieces)

Mix together ingredients and fill tortillas with mixture

Spread some of the mixture on bottom of 9x13 pan, I also like to spread some on top of enchiladas, then sprinkle cheese on top.

Bake on 350 for 30 min.

ENJOY! mmmm

Sammy's Salsa

Even though I got this recipe from my dear friend Florence that I used to work with at McKay Dee we call it Sammy's Salsa cause I always make it and it's AMAZING!

(I have never made it for MY family, I'll have to next get together!)

1 yellow bell pepper

1 orange bell pepper

1 red bell pepper

cilantro

green onion

1 can of corn DRAINED

1 can of black beans DRAINED

1 can of hominy DRAINED

1 bottle of Hendrickson's salad dressing

Chop up the cilantro, green onion and bell peppers (Don't use green they really don't all taste the same!) I don't ever measure the cilantro or green onion, just do it to taste, I use LOTS of cilantro, almost the whole bunch, use about 1/2 of the bunch of onions.  Combine with corn, beans, and hominy in large bowl.  Add about half the bottle of Hendrickson's dressing.

The beauty of this "salsa" is that you can add whatever you want to it, I've added fresh tomatoes, avocado, and the original recipe doesn't call for hominy but I love it.  The Hendrickson's dressing is also my FAVE.

ENJOY!!!
