I have been totally remiss on these posts because living further away from work, being on a super strict budget and having a smaller kitchen…. We have been in cooking survivor mode.

We have been cooking a lot of good stuff, we have an instapot and have regular access to chicken backs (although the Super King only sells chicken feet by the 3lb package!!) so we’ve had a wonderful stream of dishes with a wonderful base of chicken stock…. Soups. Braised and tonight Enchiladas.

I was partially inspired by @Luluthemagnificent’s Mushroom post and my mother’s need to keep giant giant stacks of 4 dozen industrial tortillas which she then pawns out of me whenever I visit. I made my short cut green chile enchiladas.

I was moving and in hysterics all through hatch chile season. So I had none at hand. Instead I use Trader Joe’s Hatch green chile salsa as a base. I lightly boil some like 5 tomatillos with salt and garlic. Put them in a blender with the salsa, a bit of cumin (about 1 tsp), Mexican Oregano (I really like Rancho Gordo), a handful of cilantro (stems okay) and a sprig of epazote and then blitz in a blender super good.

Then, put it back into the pot that you just boiled the tomatillos and heat through so the flavors come together as you prep the rest of tie stuff for stuffing and topping the enchilada — shred Chicken (I poach chicken breast), Chop the onion cilantro (just leaves this time), lettuce, etc…

Then heat up the oil and lightly fry your abomination tortillas. So the edges are firm but it still has some bend. One done shake off the oil and put it in and pot with salsa just long enough to coat it. Stuff and roll in an oven safe pan. Once you are all done…. Top with extra salsa and cheese if your choice (I like queso fresco as it melds with the tortilla)

Put in 350 oven for 15 minutes (Convection Roast). Let it cool for 10. Top to your hearts content!

Not bad for a double trash day Monday!

Made a massive amount of beef ragu that I cooked for about 7 hours.

Packed away 4 deli quarts and then used the remainder with orecchiette.

I had some diStefano white truffle burrata so I slapped on top of my portion.

Pasta Salad - unlimited number of recipes available. This one lets you sauté onions, red pepper, carrots, peas and corn before briefly cooking them in vegetable broth so that they start to be softer but still have some bite. Mix with pasta and the sauce made from mayonnaise, sour cream, cornichons , mustard, white wine vinegar, paprika and just a pinch of curry powder.
