What's for Dinner, Tues., Sept. 3, 2024

[slightlv]

9. I went all out on dinner tonight...

I'll pay for all the standing I did tomorrow, no doubt! But it did turn out great, I'm pleased to say. I made Red Chili Enchiladas, and (just because my hubby loves them) I also did a pan of chicken green chili enchiladas, as well as a few straight cheese enchiladas. With my grandson now living with us, the leftovers *may* last thru tomorrow night (LOL). Also did a Mexican flavored rice, as well as refried beans (with my own spices added).

I've got my own recipe I think I may have found decades ago when living in Texas for the chicken enchiladas. After sauteing onions, jalapenos, and any other chilis I want to add into it, I dice the chicken very small and add it to the pot to heat up and infuse with the spices. Then I transfer all of it to a bowl, where I've whipped cream cheese into a very smooth texture and add in a couple of tablespoons of sour cream. Hubby ate one entire small pan, all by himself, this evening! Grandson ate four of each type! Luckily, I'd gone grocery shopping yesterday. It's nice having food in the pantry and the refrig for a change. The last couple of months have been hard, money-wise, while moving the kiddo in with us. Dang, it all turned out so good and looked so great in the pan, I wish I'd taken a picture to share! (LOL)
