Day 21: Something you are proud of

Lately I have been attempting to cook new recipes.  I usually don't cook since it is hard to make the right portion size to not end up with leftovers for a week.  But I actually really enjoy it, so I have been making more of an effort.  I made the following recipe last week and it turned out really good.  I got it from www.thesisterscafe.com. 

 Honey Lime Enchiladas

1.5 lbs pork or chicken, cooked and shredded

1/3 c honey

1/4 c lime juice

1 Tb chili powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 (10 oz) cans green enchilada sauce

equal parts mixed together of:

mozzarella cheese, shredded

cheddar cheese, shredded

flour tortillas

 

Mix together sauce ingredients then add to shredded pork or chicken. Let the sauce soak into the meat for about 30 minutes.

 

Lightly spray 2 pans with non-stick baking spray. (I usually use one 9×13 and one 9×9 but it may vary with how thick you stuff your enchiladas) Pour green enchilada sauce into pans to coat the entire bottom. Fill tortillas with shredded meat and desired amount of cheese. Roll and place in dish.

Pour remainder of sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle more cheese on top – don’t be stingy! (I sometimes use more like 1 1/2 cans- you can freeze left over enchilada sauce in a baggy.) Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Then turn on broiler and place enchiladas nearer the top of oven. Let it broil until cheese is slightly brown and crispy.

I also like to try the recipes from www.ourbestbites.com and http://crockpotgirls.com/.  I am becoming a regular Martha Stewart in the kitchen (slight exaggeration)!
