Pan Fried Chicken Tacos

I swear it was only three tough chicken breasts cooked for Chicken Breast Green Enchiladas but there is still a sandwich baggy filled with stringy chicken meat even after making Green Chicken Taquitos. Hopefully, frying chicken in a corn/flour tortilla for Baked Chicken Tacos will mask the chew of the chicken itself ,

Modifications Made:

Again, this recipe was more of a platform starting point and if anything, my version followed more closely to Maria's Tortillas than the baked version itself.

Instructions:

One cup of colby jack cheese was shredded and set aside.

Chicken was warmed to scalding hot in the microwave, well drained of any grease or moisture, and set aside.

Half cup of green salsa was warmed to scalding hot in the microwave and set aside.

Corn/flour tortilla warmed on greased skillet. Flip tortilla and to one half add: heavy pinch of cheese, one tablespoon of chicken, one teaspoon of green salsa, one additional heavy pinch of cheese, and fold over creating taco shape. Taco was smashed with flat spatula and then filled to toast final side.

Scaled for Likability: Great

Not any more work than a Maria's Tortilla, these pan fried tortillas were warm and gooey on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Usage of the green salsa was a nice change to the red homemade salsa and the corn/flour tortilla adds a depth level of flavor. Great corn taste with the chew of flour. Just love them.

If I had an oven big enough to accommodate a full size cookie sheet, I would absolutely attempt these in the oven. Cooking in the oven would not be any less time consuming but most certainly healthier. These are a great way to use up any leftover chicken meat and are easily on their way to becoming a T&T favortie.

Better Than Campbell's Old Fashion Vegetable Soup

Went to the store with the hopes of gathering fresh produce for soup. With more than 45 people in line for two packages of any meat product and the produce section containing only avocado, orange, and most randomly, strawberries, I settled upon canned soup. Well not canned soup since that section was still void of food, too. Instead soup made from canned goods as the canned vegetable section had been mostly restocked. Soups like this 15 Minute Vegetable Soup are ideal in dire food situations such as current times. Modifications Made: Plain petite diced tomatoes for flavored tomatoes, frozen carrots instead of canned, green beans and corn undrained, peas omitted (gross, nasty little pods), one can tomato sauce, two low sodium chicken and two pollo de tomate bouillon cubes, six cups water. Once onions were softened, carrots, juice of green beans and corn, sauce, bouillon cubes, water were added and allowed to simmer until carrots almost tender. Green beans and corn tossed in, heat t

Way Too Rich, Extra Heavy Cheesecake

Pictures are deceptive. What this picture of this recipe does not show is how old and faded the print out paper is, how many stains are smudged across various spots, and the numerous notes written in the top right corner with the first one dating back to college days in 2001. Yikes, twenty years ago makes this paper print out old, no wait, that makes me old. Eek. Sadly, my current living quarters do not allow for cooking of this cheesecake. In fact the last time this recipe has been made have been close to six or seven years. That is just too long. Too long. Luckily, we are spending Spring Break at family with a real oven. A family who will help eat this oh so rich, very decadent, supremely yummy cheesecake. Modifications Made: There are four keys to a successful cheesecake. ONE: all ingredients must be room temperature. If your house is ice chest cold, then warm the ingredients on the stovetop. TWO: do not over mix. Excessive mixing creates air pockets resulting in split mi

Layered Lemon Curd Loaf

Good grief us heat loving Texans have made it. What a week it has been. Winter is over and Texas winter is back. Last night to celebrate the end of The Great Freeze 2021 with heating pads, electric blankets, and space heaters we indulgently ate ice cream. Yes, it was 32 degrees outside but directly in front of the space heater it was bliss.. Tonight it was back to everything lemon with The Best Lemon Curd Loaf Cake using this Lemon Curd recipe. Modifications Made: For the bread, sugar was reduced by a quarter cup, greek yogurt was used instead of sour cream, lemon extract instead of lemon zest, and glaze was omitted. Scaled for Likability: Good Love this lemon curd. Have made several versions and this is by far the easiest. Bread was not excessively sweet, had a moist, crumby inside, and a crunchy top layer. Layers of bread to curd was good but the addition of a sweetened cream cheese would have been better. Bread was served cold and would have been great with a drizzle of lemon
