Baby Lady has been inquiring, repeatedly, when I was going to post this meal. You see, these are Baby Lady’s Crispy Green Enchiladas.

Tortilla Soup (Sopa Azteca de Tortilla)
It’s still cold in DFW so we’re still doing soups. We also need to lose the weight we gained during the Holidays. 😮 So, we roasted 3 chickens, obtained 5.5 lbs of shredded chicken meat, took the carcasses and made 7 qts of rich chicken stock. When you do that you know there is some soup in there somewhere. With that much chicken meat and stock you can make a wonderful variety of soups, starting with your standard comfort food – Chicken Noodle Soup. Today, however, it was time for a good old stick to your bones mexican soup, Tortilla Soup (Sopa Aztea de Tortilla) that is. Continue reading Tortilla Soup (Sopa Azteca de Tortilla)

Red Chile, Cheese and Onion Enchiladas

OK, this is a multi-post Monday. Although this post has chiles, it’s kinda in line with Saturday Breakfast: Fried Eggs atop Sautéed Mushrooms and Onions on Sourdough Toast Finished with Bourbon Sauce because it concerns itself with leftovers. This recipe is for those of you who try the Red Chile Braised Pork Tacos. It’s a killer recipe that everyone will like but the amount of chile paste remaining is roughly 1 to 1-1/2 cups. That is a lot of leftover chile paste. It took some work to make and it’s simply too good to throw away. So, what do you do with this wonderful chile paste? You make enchiladas, that’s what.
