Southwest Chicken Tortilla Lasagna

-

I've been hungry for something like this for a while and finally today I decided it's time to do something about it. I couldn't find the recipe that I had used long ago and I didn't care for the ones I found online so I concocted this one and was favorably impressed. It even gained approval from the young men in the family. I was pleased indeed! The baked corn that I served with it is also a favorite of mine and the recipe comes from my sister Karen. It's simple and has only 4 ingredients. Sooo yummy!! I will share both recipes so you can enjoy them together. ☺

                                                                   For the Lasagna:
                 

                              3 cups diced fine chicken tenders, about ½ inch squares                      
                              1 small onion, finely chopped                                                              
                             3 tablespoons olive oil                                                                       
                             1- 4.5 ounce can green chilies, drained and rinsed                             
                             ½ cup salsa                                                                                         
                             3 tablespoons taco seasoning                                                             
                              1-10¾ ounce Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup                               
               ½ - ¾ cup sour cream                                                           
  4 - 8 inch flour tortillas                                           
   1-¼ cups cheddar cheese                                          
Lettuce                                                                   
Chopped Tomatoes or Salsa                                  
Sour cream                                                            

Saute' onions in oil for a few minutes. Add the chicken and stir fry until almost done then add the taco seasoning and the green chilies and continue to stir fry just until chicken is done. Remove from heat.  Add a ½ cup of salsa and stir to mix.



Combine the chicken soup and ½ - ¾ cup of sour cream and mix well.

Spray a 9 inch pie plate with non stick spray and spread approximately a ½ cup of chicken soup/sour cream mixture on the bottom.


Place a flour tortilla on top and spread with another ½ cup of soup/sour cream mixture. Top with approximately 1 cup of chicken mixture and sprinkle with some of the cheese.



Repeat layers two more times ending with a flour tortilla. Spread the remaining soup/sour cream mixture over this last tortilla and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Garnish as desired.



 Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted. Serve with lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. Guacamole would be good with this as well but I didn't have any avocados so I just ate it with the other things. It was delicious!



                                                              BAKED CORN
                                                     

                                                              3 cups creamy corn*
                                                              1 cup sour cream
                                                              1 pkg. Jiffy corn muffin mix
                                                               ½ cup butter, melted

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into a greased 11 x 7 inch glass baking dish or individual ramekins. Bake @ 350° for 40 - 50 minutes. If you are baking them in smaller baking dishes you have to adjust the time. I baked these approximately 25 - 30 minutes.

*The original recipe calls for 1 can cream style corn and 1 can whole kernel corn but I use my frozen corn.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
