Angie's Tweaked Southwest Chicken Soup


1 pkg boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders (approximately 1lb)
2 T olive oil
1 medium chopped onion
2 T minced garlic
1/2 t. chipotle chili powder
1/2 t. cumin
1/8 t. red pepper
1/2 t. salt
96 oz chicken broth (chicken, onion, carrots, celery, salt & pepper)
1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can rotel chopped tomatoes and chilis
1 15 oz. can kidney beans
2 T fresh cilantro, chopped

To make broth: Cut the roots off the ends of the onion, leave the skin on and cut into quarters. Cut 1-3 carrots into 3-4 pieces each. Cut 1-3 celery stalks into 3-4 pieces each. Put all this plus chicken and water to the top of the Dutch Oven. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook until chicken is done. Remove chicken to cool, remove vegetables and throw away. Skim foam off broth if you want.

Sauté the onions in olive oil until they're translucent (I actually cook mine a little longer until they start to brown/caramelize). Add the garlic and seasonings and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken, broth and vegetables. Simmer for 15 minutes or more. Add the cilantro a few minutes before serving so that the green color remains. Top with shredded cheese, and serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy. This is an easy recipe to double and freeze in individual servings.

Monterey House Candy (Leche Quemada - Burnt Milk Fudge)

I've searched for this recipe for literally years. They used to give to away at Monterey House in Dickinson, TX. I've made countless pans of what usually turns into semi-burnt caramel. I did find this exact candy at Las Palmas here in Springdale, but they seldom have it. They don't have a recipe. They claim they GO TO MEXICO and buy it from someone there, and bring it back?! Seriously useless. But here it is- someone from Dickinson gave out this recipe and I'm going to try it. You may all get some for Christmas this year if it works out. And if you don't absolutely LOVE it, please just send it back and I will eat it- somehow. NEVER LET IT GO TO WASTE!!! 5 pounds sugar 4 12-oz cans evaporated milk 1 12-oz can evaporated goat’s milk (or substitute evaporated milk) 2 cups light corn syrup 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon Mexican vanilla extract 4 tablespoons butter I N S T R U C T I O N S Put sugar, evaporated milk, evaporated goat’s milk, corn syrup and sa

Angelia Style "Chicken Fundido"

We're not sure what to call it, but it's FABULOUS and may replace my weekly (okay, it might be 2-3 times a week) "Taco Salad" meal.  Only Bryson and I eat the actual taco salad, and we're also the only ones eating this. :) Ingredients: However much chicken breast you have on hand Leftover pinto beans, refried beans, or canned black or red beans Sliced onion Mexican/Taco Seasoning Olive oil So we cut our chicken breast into strips, and sprinkled with the Homemade Mexican/Taco Seasoning we made.  Then I grilled onions in some olive oil until cooked through, and removed them.  Then I grilled the chicken in the olive oil until they were cooked through, and added the onions and the beans until all was heated through.  Then top with cheddar cheese,  cover with a lid and turn it off. THEN YOU EAT IT. I just eat it straight, but you could use tortillas (I wasn't up to making them tonight) or tortilla chips. Fab-O!
