Day: March 18, 2006

Well, Lady Diane tagged me with this lil game that came out of the manufactured “outrage” Muslims expressed six months after the famous Mohammed cartoons appeared (either it was truly faked up, manufactured, or these people are some of the slowest, stupidest people on the planet. Take your pick. I pick both). This was particularly challenging for me, since cartooning is NOT an easy form. And, as you will see from my very crappy photomanipulation and the rest, below, I am NOT a cartoonist.

But still, I try not to turn down either a “tag” or any request by Lady Diane, so I was doubly bound, and so…

Laissez les bontemps roulez, Mohammed!

Shuckin’ n Jivin’ at The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns (where else?)

I don’t know if I’ve posted this before, but if I did, it was over a year ago and at another address… besides, I’m too late for a Carnival of the Recipes post this week (Spring Break Fever). Anywho, the main dish in dinner tonight:

(FLAT) Chicken Enchiladas. (Yeh, I’m way too lazy to roll ’em.)

Ingredients:

~8 oz already cooked chicken, shredded
1 (or 2) 4-oz cans chopped green chiles
1 15-oz can of your fav green enchilada sauce (I could tell you the “made from scratch” green enchilada sauce recipe, but I don’t use it now so why should I inflict it on you?) OR about 4 4-oz cans (or 2 8-oz if you can find ’em) chopped green chiles, pureed.
1 10-oz can your fav creram of chicken soup
1/2 yellow (scourge) onion, diced
about 1 pound shredded monterey jack/cheddar mix
18 average-sized corn tortillas

Method:

Preheat overn to 350 degrees fahrenheit
Lightly oil 9’X12′ g;ass baking dish
Combine the chicken, geen chiles, green enchilada sauce and cream of chicken soup in a bowl
Nuke the chopped onion in the microwave in a covered bowl with a bit of olive oil for about 2 minutes

Layer in thusly:

Bottom: six tortillas, sauce, onions, cheese (use 1/2 the onions)
Next layer, same
Top layer same as above except no onions

Bake for about 40 minutes at 350 (oven temps vary. Yours could take more or less time).

Remove from the oven and let site for a couple of minutes. Cut into serving portions and top with shredded lettuce and/or your fav salsa, perhaps pico de gallo.

Serve with “spanish” rice and refried beans.
