EVERYBODY’s got da bug…<\/p>\n
A real fast easy TexMex dinner for 2 that’s legal on our diet…
\nYou need: a small jar 1 and 1\/2 inch—diced canned green chiles
\nsharp cheddar grated
\nsour cream
\nOrtega taco spice
\ndiced chicken bits: I use Foster Farms: Tyson would do. Dice these with kitchen shears.
\nEmbasa jalapenos.
\nSmall flour tortilla (we use the high fiber ones)<\/p>\n
In skillet with 1 tbs olive oil: heat the diced chilis over 7 heat on a 1-10 scale until almost all moisture has gone. Add diced chicken. Add about a tsp taco spice. Keep cooking until you’re seeing no moisture. Add a heaping tbs or so of jalapenos. Stir.<\/p>\n
Lay out a tortilla. About 1\/3 of the way from an edge lay down a fistful of cheese. Lay atop it the chicken chili mix; atop that, more cheese. Roll tightly and lay with the fold-end down in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave until cheese is well melted. Garnish with heaping tbs sour cream and dash of paprika.<\/p>\n
You can start this and gather and prep your other supplies while the hot part of this dish is cooking. It comes down to a one-dish cookup followed by a quick assembly. You could do these for a party of 20 without overmuch stress, or cook two, save one for lunch. Moderate the heat to suit. Embasa brand jalapenos are about the mildest. And green chilis have a mild flavor: don’t be afraid of them: you could hardly even call it heat.<\/p>\n
You could do this with pork or beef, too. Or do it as plain chili-cheese with tomato, say. One thing to watch is letting it get soppy from cooking. If you end up in a dish with too much water, don’t be shy about blotting the sucker with a paper towel so you don’t have a problem. This can also safely remove an excess of cooking oil, etc.<\/p>\n
Tonight, however, neither Jane nor I wanted anything too heavy, so we called out for pizza. One effect of this crud is a towering desire for thin-crust pizza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
