Chicken Enchiladas topped with Radishes and Green Onions

My generalized recipe for chicken enchiladas using leftover chicken from Sunday night. Had just over 8 oz of shredded chicken for 12 tortillas. Warmed the tortillas in the oven at 300° for 4 minutes after spraying with cooking oil.  Sauce was a green one, mild from Old El Paso. Used both four cheese Mexican and ricata salata in and on them. Topped when just about done with the sliced radishes and green onions.

Swiss Chard with Tomatoes and Potatoes

From Authentic Mexican Cooking, Bayless, pg 275. Swiss Chard was last we had from farm. Potatoes also from farm. This was very good.

Quick Cowboy Beans

From Mexican Everyday, Bayless, but I cheated and used a half can of Rotel to a can of beans. This makes up very quick.

New Variation on Tacos for Monday Night Supper

December 14, 2010

Created 13 December 2010

Rick Bayless’ Braised Greens Tacos.

We have had them before, but I cannot find my reference, but I know they were good. Caramelized onions, braised Swiss chard, garlic served on warm corn tortillas with cotija cheese.  I use more onions, and truly caramelize them, not just brown. The Swiss chard was beautiful, from the CSA farm.

I topped that with:

Seared Maine Shrimp with Tropical Pepper Company Crushed Chili (sic) Pepper Sauce.

(Its not chili seasonings, it made with chilies. ).  Have to get the shrimp dry, and cook them fast in a very hot pan to keep from overdoing them. I did two batches in a 12″ pan, then put them back together and added the sauce. Careful, it is spicy.

And

Rick’s Quick Cowboy Beans

Made even quicker by using a half can of Rotel with a whole can of pinto beans. And some bacon, part of the fat poured off.

Very delicious
