Santa Fe Chicken Casserole



This recipe was a complete accident, but one of my favorite accidents so far! What was originally intended to be chicken enchiladas took on a life of its own and quickly became a family favorite!

You will need:
-10-12 flour tortillas
-4 skinless chicken breasts
-1 can Cream of Chicken soup
-1 cup salsa
-1 can black beans (drained)
-1 can sweet corn (half drained)
-1 TBS taco seasoning
-2 cups cheddar or pepper-jack cheese
-1/2 cup sliced black olives

Put Cream of Chicken soup, salsa, taco seasoning and corn (with half of the liquid in the can) in crock pot and mix well. Add drained black beans and chicken breasts and cook on medium-high heat for 2 hours or until chicken is done. Once chicken is fully cooked, remove chicken from crock pot mixture and shred. Place shredded chicken back into crock pot and mix well. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Lightly grease a small baking dish (11x7). Grate cheese and set aside. Next, take one tortilla and spread two heaping table spoons of chicken mixture over the tortilla, roll tortilla (like you would an enchilada) and place in pan. Continue these steps, placing each tortilla roll side by side until you have filled your pan. You should still have chicken mixture left over. Place remaining chicken over the top of tortilla rolls and spread evenly. Sprinkle cheese and then black olives over the top of your casserole. Bake at 350F degrees for 10 minutes. Allow a few minutes to cool slightly before serving. Serve with a big heaping spoonful of sour cream with spanish rice on the side!

Taco Soup



Almost every woman I know has her own version of this soup. This is just mine, modified to our liking. Its cheap, quick and super YUMMY!

You will need:

-1 (15 oz) can of non-creamed corn- do not drain
-2 (15 oz) cans of black beans
-1 (15 oz) can chili beans
-1 (14 oz) can beef broth
-1 (14 oz) can tomato sauce
-1 lb 80/20 ground beef
-1/2 a medium/large onion
-2 TBS taco seasoning
-2 TBS powdered onion soup mix
-1 tsp chili powder
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp oregano
-cheese, salsa, sour cream, tortilla chip for serving

In a medium sized stock pot, brown beef with chopped onion, 1 TBS onion soup mix, 1 TBS taco seasoning, and oregano. Once beef is cooked, drain grease off and add the rest of the ingredients. Be sure NOT to drain the corn! Cover and let simmer on low to medium heat for 25 minutes. Serve with grated cheese, tortilla chip, sour cream and salsa (or if you're like my husband and little one- JUST CHEESE!) Enjoy!
