Menu Monday

Another Monday is here with another week of great recipes.

Monday
Chicken Enchiladas
2 jars of enchilada sauce (I prefer Safeway version at Dominicks)
1 jar of mild chopped green chilies
1 can of Southwest Verde Campbell’s soup or Cream of Chicken or Nacho Cheese soup
¼ cup of Sour Cream
2 pre-package of cut up chicken
1 package of shredded Mexican cheese
1 package of tortillas
Up to 2 casserole dishes (I end using 1 13x9 pan and 1 8x8 pan)

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut up chicken into small or shredded pieces.
Combine the chopped green chilies, soup, sour cream, chicken, ¾ package of cheese, and a little enchilada sauce in a bowl.
In a baking dish(es), pour remaining enchilada sauce (keep a couple tablespoons to pour over after tortilla is in baking dish)
Spoon enchilada mixture into tortilla, roll up with seam facing down, and place in baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are used.
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over tortillas and sprinkle the tops with remaining cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Mexican Rice
1 chopped green pepper
3 garlic cloves minced
1 can (14 ½ oz.) diced tomatoes and green chilies undrained
1 can (15 oz.) black beans drained and rinsed
1 ¼ cups of water
2 cups brown rice
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese
*1/4 cup chopped cilantro optional

Cook and stir green pepper and garlic in hot oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat 1 minute. Add tomatoes, beans and water; mix well. Bring to a boil.
Stir in rice. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cilantro; top with shredded cheese. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes
