White Enchiladas

The last white enchilada recipe I found was a flop, but this one was enjoyed by us all.  I have changed a few things and meshed a few recipes together.  You can find the original recipe here:

1 pkg of cream cheese, softened

1 can of diced chilies

2 cups +/- pepperjack cheese

1 c. sour cream

flour tortillas (I ended up using about 14-16 of them)

S&P

cumin, chili powder

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Prep pyrex dishes by spraying with oil
3. Cook chicken in instant pot.  Shred and add spices to add some flavor
4.  After cooked chicken is shredded add the package of softened cream cheese
5. Fill the tortillas with the chicken mixture and place seam side down in the pan(s).
6.  melt the butter in a pot. Slowly sprinkle the flour in. Whisk for 1 minute.  Slowly add the chicken broth and whisk to thicken. 
7.  Remove the pot and let it cool down.  Add the chilis and sour cream.  
8. Pour the sauce over the enchiladas and then sprinkle with cheese.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly.  Turn on the broiler and broil for a few minutes until they are golden.

Fried Potatoes and Sausage SKillet from the kitchn.com

 Serves 4 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound 

  Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

• 3/4 teaspoon 

  kosher salt, divided

• 2 tablespoons 

  olive oil, divided

• 1 pound 

  uncooked pork sausage, casings removed

• 1 

  medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces

• 2 

  cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 teaspoon 

  freshly ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon 

  red pepper flakes

• Juice from 1 medium lemon

• Fresh parsley leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover by 1 inch with cold water, and add 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cook just until the potatoes are fork-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the potatoes; set aside.

2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 10-inch or larger skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and drain off any excess fat in the pan.

3. Reduce to heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil and potatoes to the pan. Spread the potatoes in an even layer across the bottom of the pan and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and peppers are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Return the sausage to the pan and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces dried noodles of choice and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and rinse well under cool water.

2. Cut 1 large broccoli crown into 1-inch florets (about 3 cups). Mince 2 garlic cloves, and peel and mince 1 (1-inch) piece of fresh ginger (about 1 tablespoon). Place the garlic, ginger, 3/4 cup of the low-sodium chicken broth or water, 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound lean ground beef and season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat into medium pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

4. Add the broccoli and remaining 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water. Stir to combine, cover, and cook until the broccoli is vibrant in color and barely crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Whisk the sauce once more to combine. Add the sauce and the noodles to the skillet and cook, tossing regularly, until the sauce is thickened and coats the noodles well, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
