Heidi's Chicken Enchiladas
From my sweet, SIL, Heidi.
serves about 12
12 – 14 flour tortillas
1- can green enchilada sauce
2- cans cream chicken soup
1- can milk (use one of the cream of chicken cans to measure out normal milk)
2- 4oz cans green chilies
chopped green onion (2Tish)
2 -cans black beans
1 -cup cooked rice
Some chicken (1 cup-ish)
Mix in bowl and add a little of your enchilada sauce.
Scoop into tortillas
I sprayed a little Pam on the bottom of my 13x9 pan but she didn’t say to.
Top with 1 can green enchilada sauce (minus the little you put in the mixture)
Sprinkle with grated cheese. She uses Monterey Jack mix from Costco, I had cheddar and it tasted great too.
Place the dish on a cookie sheet (those babies are crammed in there and spillage will happen) :O)
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes
If you have limes or lime juice put a little on after you plate it.

Lisa's Pasties
These are my MIL's Pasties. The definition of comfort food.
Filling
2 lbs Hamburger - very lean and raw
1 large Onion - chopped
carrots (abt 4-5 reg sized ones) - grated
potatoes - diced in cubes
salt and pepper to taste.
pie crust
Mix all but pie crust together well. Be sure there is lots of each. Be generous on the pepper and reasonable on the salt. If using red potatoes leave the skin on if russets - peel first.
Pie Crust
(proportional recipe)
4 parts flour (4 cups)
2 parts Crisco (2 cups)
1 part water (1 cup)
1 teaspoon salt to the above amounts or adjust as increased.
Mix salt into flour first, then add in Crisco, mix well with mixer on low or by hand with a pastry blender. Then add in water. Cover mixer with a towel to catch flying stuff... :)
Chill dough before trying to work with it.
Any extra dough can be rolled into balls then some light flouring and put in a ziplock and store in freezer for later. They thaw really fast. Like in 15 minutes or so.
Roll out pie crust to about 6-8 inch diameters. Put meat mixture on one side then fold crust over top like a turnover. Pinch/fold ends. Put slits in top with a knife to vent. Place on a well greased/sprayed baking sheet. Bake about an hour at 375. Done when potatoes are tender. Test with a toothpick.
Eat with ketchup or gravy of choice.

Mango Quinoa Salad
From Best Bites
2 cups cooked quinoa* at room temperature, or chilled
1 14 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 medium mango, peeled and diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1 handful chopped cilantro (about 1/2 cup)
4 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
kosher salt
freshly cracked black pepper
*Quinoa can be cooked in water or broth. I suggest using vegetable or chicken broth for enhanced flavor, but plain water works great too.
Place cooked quinoa in a large bowl. Add mango, red pepper, green onion, black beans, and cilantro. In a small bowl combine vinegar, olive oil, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth and pour on top of salad. Toss to combine and add salt and pepper to taste. Chill for at least one hour before serving. So Yummy! I'll be making this one lots!
