Crock-pot Quesadillas

In celebration of Cinco De Mayo (any time is good time for a party!) we had Crock-pot Chicken Quesadillas for dinner. I made up the recipe, but Bryson and I both enjoyed it so I thought I'd post it here.

Put all of these in your crock-pot:

2 lbs chicken breast meat
1 lg can green enchilada sauce
2 cans diced chilis (or 4 jalapeños)
diced tomatoes or sundried tomatoes
1 medium chopped or sliced Vidalia onion
black olives if desired
salt & pepper to taste
cilantro & cumin to taste

Let this cook on high for 3-4 hours, or low for 7-8 hours. It will smell like heaven in a pot- all over the house. Then I shred the chicken; and get out the tortillas, cheddar cheese and sour cream. We just scooped the meat mixture into a flour tortilla, and topped it with cheddar cheese and sour cream. It was FABULOUS. I meant to take a picture, but we ate it (all) so fast I didn't have time. Maybe next time I'll snap a photo, and add it. ¡Olé!

    It does sound fabulous. My guess is that if you added a can of rotel (chilis/tomatoes) that it would elimiate the 2 dif cans of chilies & tomatoes. Sounds great though!

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...

My Version of Homemade Taco/Mexican Seasoning

There's a lots of these around, so I made up one of my own. We really like it, so I'm trying to get it all documented so we can re-make it when we run out. Angie's Homemade Mexican Taco Seasoning 1 TBSP Garlic Powder 1 TBSP Onion Powder 1 TBSP Himalayan or Sea Salt 1 TBSP Cumin 1 TBSP Crushed (dried) Cilantro 2 tsp Chipotle Chile Pepper powder 1 tsp white pepper (powder) I use the crushed/dried/powdered form of all of these because I put it in a glass spice jar and shake it on stuff.
