Verde Chicken Enchiladas



This is one of my favorite meals to make. It also may be the most time consuming! I press corn tortillas from scratch and make my own recipe Mexican rice. The verde sauce and refried beans are from a can, but the shredded chicken, onion, cheese and peppers filling is homemade.

I like to bake them in a 13x9 for 30-40 minutes, but you could pour the heated green enchilada sauce right over them for a quicker dinner. Makes LOTS of leftovers too! And will freeze well for my work dinners. Just wish store-bought corn tortillas tasted like freshly made - alas the don't. I like pressing them anyway and my 3 yr old even helped, so it's all good.

Hummus Avocado Turkey Wrap



A simple way to spruce up your boring turkey sandwich. Why not make a wrap? Slice some avocado and spread some hummus and you don't need any additional mayo or Italian dressing. I like red onion and tomato as well. Splurge on the chips for a little greasy pleasure. This recipe idea is really stolen from my wife as she likes hummus and avocado much more than myself. ;-)
