Beef Taco Skillet

From: Campbell's Kitchen

Prep: 5 minutes

Cook: 20 minutes

6 flour tortillas (6-inch), cut into 1-inch pieces

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (I probably used more )

We had pizza last night, dominoes - it was good except they sent thin crust instead of regular, guess the pizza cook was taking artistic license?

We even had kraft dinner for lunch - normally we don't eat it but it was in the cupboard and we are trying to use up our food before we move.

We even had kraft dinner for lunch - normally we don't eat it but it was in the cupboard and we are trying to use up our food before we move.

we are doing the same...we move April 17th...made a pot of chili because I had about 4 cans of beans.. I have so many boxes of chicken stock (they were a good deal at Costco) so Im gonna make some chicken noodle soup.. also have some nuts and chocolate chips..so I guess I will be making some cookies... freezer is almost empty just buying what we need for the week...normally I stock up on meat when its on sale or go to Costco and then divide it up..have about 3 bottles of BBQ sauce that need to be used also..

also still have alot of things like Ziploc bags, tin foil etc...but whatever we dont use in the next 3 weeks I will just take to work to put in our kitchen there..

today we went to Costco and only bought things we needed for cleaning...like Mr Clean Magic Erasers (LOVE THEM!), Lysol wipes...etc...and got some of my husbands favorites in the big Costco size boxes..LOL..Wine Gums, Wunderbars, and Sesame Snaps...it will probaly be our last trip to Costco here in Canada so of course my husband also had to get some Fries and Gravy while we shopped..

I did however get myself a bag of already cut sweet potato fries at Costco, that I will roast along with asparagus to go with our meatloaf tonight..

Marilyn let us know how that Lemon Chicken is, that one looks like a keeper..yummy..

[Marilyn. 340]

so it looks good??

I think I might add some carrots to it..

I have another lemon chicken recipe that uses carrots (that one requires cream of chicken soup which I don't have ) so I think it will work with this one...

I think it looks really good...and I think carrots would be good...maybe even mushrooms and red onions..mmm

kinda reminds me of a Greek style chicken recipe that Ive used before...

Heres a really good chicken recipe that we tried a couple years ago and that I found again when going through one of my drawers in the kitchen...gonna have to make it again soon...its from the Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten)

Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic

3 whole heads garlic, about 40 cloves

2 (3 1/2-pound) chickens, cut into eighths

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 tablespoons good olive oil

3 tablespoons Cognac, divided

1 1/2 cups dry white wine

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Separate the cloves of garlic and drop them into a pot of boiling water for 60 seconds. Drain the garlic and peel. Set aside.

Dry the chicken with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the butter and oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, saute the chicken in the fat, skin side down first, until nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Turn with tongs or a spatula; you don't want to pierce the skin with a fork. If the fat is burning, turn the heat down to medium. When a batch is done, transfer it to a plate and continue to saute all the chicken in batches. Remove the last chicken to the plate and add all of the garlic to the pot. Lower the heat and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, turning often, until evenly browned. Add 2 tablespoons of the Cognac and the wine, return to a boil, and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pot with the juices and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Cover and simmer over the lowest heat for about 30 minutes, until all the chicken is done.

Remove the chicken to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the sauce and the flour and then whisk it back into the sauce in the pot. Raise the heat, add the remaining tablespoon of Cognac and the cream, and boil for 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste; it should be very flavorful because chicken tends to be bland. Pour the sauce and the garlic over the chicken and serve hot.

I made the lemon chicken and it is smelling good... the only thing was that I doubled the sauce stuff... when I poured in the first batch over the chicken it didn't look like it would be enough liquid so I added another batch.. now after cooking for a few hours it has lots of liquid oh well....

[Kathryn41 3,205]

Roast chicken, jasmine rice steamed with lemon and herbs, green beans, fresh asparagus from the garden (not much - had to harvest what we had because of the frost warning last night - it would have frozen to mush), - Joe also had the last of the pinto beans he made yesterday, then fresh sliced mango for dessert.

[Carlawarla 1]

We had sloppy joes last night. I thought the sauce a bit too vinegary, but it was okay. Gene loved it. Had a salad with it, and the joes were on some crunch chibata buns.

Have to do a bit of grocery shopping today, so I'll see what they have at the grocery for fresh fish today....or whatever.

[Krikit 1,164]

I have not a clue what we're having for dinner this evening. I am too busy fighting fires to think about that at the moment. *frazzled*

[Krikit 1,164]

Okay, I've decided. We're going to have T.O_2_Fl's Curried Tilapia with Mango Salsa. I thought I had all the ingredients but I don't. I'm going to have to run out for the serrano chile. (darnit)

you sound like my kind of cook ...lol .. everyone else here does fancy shmancy stuff

I think I have made this before too.. I know i have the recipe but I can't remember if I have made it yet or not...

*************************

the lemon garlic chicken was good last night.. I served it with some white rice...... although I should have turned off the crock pot a little sooner.... hubby gave it a A+ though... I didn't have any fresh lemon juice or fresh garlic, so I used bottled lemon juice and garlic powder... oh and I added a little cumin to the chicken rub part....

I am not sure what dinner is going to be tonight..

I am leaning towards the marie calledar's lasagna I have in the freezer but then I am wondering if I should save that for a day that I don't have a lot of time to cook.. but then if I don't have lasagna it will prolly be chicken again tonight...
