Mexican Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

I decided it was time for stuffed peppers, and I thought we should try a Mexican version!

Carne Asada Nachos

Glenn mentioned his current favorite food was carne asada fries. I did some Googling, and decided to practice by making carne asada nachos since I had some leftover Mexican cheese sauce and leftover steak and chicken.

Mantecadas (Mexican Muffins)

I was thinking about making a Mexican dessert for a pot luck, and I find this one.
I decided to make it dairy free for Mary Grace.

Tamale Pie

I saw a recipe for Mexican Tamal Casserole which inspire me to try a Tamale Pie.

Mexican Pizza

I thought we should have a Mexican pizza for dinner, so I made one using a crust I had used before.


 

Green Chili Chicken Casserole - Low Carb

We had guacamole and chips, so I was looking for a cheesy chicken casserole to go with it. We had this for dinner tonight.

 

Tex-Mex Mac-n-Cheese - Instant Pot

Doug and I both exercised this morning, then went for a tandem bicycle ride this afternoon. We needed a quick meal, and Doug suggested pasta. I had been wanting to try a version of a Tex-Mex Mac-n-Cheese I saw.

Migas (Scrambled Egg Nachos)

I saw a recipe for Migas recently - they look like scrambled egg nachos! I sent a link to Alex because I thought he would like them. 

Turns out we needed something for lunch today, so I made migas.

  

Instant Pot Mexican Lentils

I've made these Instant Pot Mexican Lentils a couple of time, so I needed to post the recipe.

Mexican Chicken Bean and Veggie Soup

I had a jalepeno pepper and some avocados, so I decided it would be a Mexican dinner tonight. I also had the time tonight, so I cooked the beans first before adding the chicken so I could be sure the beans were tender.

Sheet Pan Fajita Chicken

I decided to make Fajita Chicken for Cinco de Mayo.

Pork Carnitas

I've been thinking about making pork carnitas for awhile, since the local Mexican restaurant no longer offers them. I mashed a couple of recipes together to make this one.

 

Mexican Cheese Sauce

I was looking for a Mexican vegetable to go with the carnitas, and I have a lot of cheddar, so I decided to make a Mexican cheese sauce to top broccoli. Mom helped me make this!

Mexican Casserole

Doug was interested in a Mexican casserole cooked in a Dutch oven for a Boy Scout Court of Honor. I cooked up this casserole:

Mexican Soup

I wanted to find a use for some dried chilis I bought awhile ago, so I made some Mexican soup.

Beef Taco Egg Rolls

I wanted something Mexican-ish for dinner, and also wanted to use up some leftover sausage. I was also looking for recipes for my new Air Fryer, but I needed to feed four people. I adapted a Air Fryer recipe a bit and made Beef Taco Egg Rolls.

Green Chili Chicken Enchilada Casserole

I was looking for a casserole that would keep nicely in the oven while heading to the airport to pick up Gramma. Alex likes Mexican food, Gramma does not really like red sauce. I decided upon a Green Chili Chicken Enchilada Casserole.

Baked Chili Rellenos

I bought some Anaheim peppers awhile ago, and some Yellow Wax peppers today (I thought they were banana peppers, but they are longer and hotter...) So tonight I made baked Chili Rellenos - Alex called it 'a recipe never before made by Mom -- or the world.'

My twist - instead of frying these in an egg based batter, I baked them in egg roll wrappers.

I think they look Christmas-sy!
