Mexican Night

Mexican food is one of my best friends. Minus the cheese and sour cream I can eat almost anything on a corn tortilla or with corn tortilla chips. Yay! Last night and tonight we had delicious meals which I'd love to share with you.

Crock Pot Enchilada Chicken Wraps

2 chicken breast, frozen

Las Palmas enchilada sause

Las Palmas green chilis

1/2 onion, diced

1 can navy beans (use black for better color!)

corn tortillas

guacamole

fresh cilantro, garnish

This was yummy and delicious and so simple! I love anything that you can make in a crock pot since it requires little to no work at all. Stick it all in in the morning and it's ready by dinner time. This was no different. I took the enchilada sause, green chilis and onion and mixed it in my crock pot. Then I added the chicken, still frozen. Turned it on low and went about my day. About 20 minutes before dinner I shredded the chicken and let it continue to simmer. I went out to my balcony and picked some fresh cilantro that I've been growing. I figured since I use it so much I might as well grow some! 

Yum! For the guacamole I used Wholly Molly Guacamole. While I normally make my own, avocados sky rocketed in price at my grocery store and I haven't had time to go to our health food store where they are still a good price. Next time! 

After heating the corn tortillas, which you always want to do so they don't fall apart, I put everything on top and enjoyed!

Do you have any recipes using a crock pot? I've found some yummy oatmeal crock pot recipes I'm going to try, but clearly that's not Mexican food so I didn't even bother for this post. I'll let you know how they turn out once I make them. :)

The second meal I didn't even know it was a Mexican dish until I was almost done eating it. In the mail the other day we got an add for a Mexican restaurant near by. We were looking it over, thankful we finally "found" somewhere we could go out for a date when Eric read the description of their Mexican Burger. He said, "hey, that's what you're eating right now!" And do I'd like to present to you the newly discovered Mexican Hamburger.

Mexican Hamburger

beef hamburger patty (I'm sure you could use turkey or veggie too)

corn tortilla

guacamole

ketchup

I know you're aching to find out how to make it. Ha! Grill your burger and cut in quarters. Two pieces will go in each tortilla. I spread a generous portion of guacamole on the bottom of my tortilla before putting the burger on it. Put burger slices on tortilla and top with ketchup. Done. Eat. Be satisfied. 

This will make two tortillas with one burger patty. If you wanted to add tomatoes and lettuce you certainly could too, I just didn't happen to have either of those things. I didn't just stack the burger like this for presentation {although it does look fancy!} but for practicality. It makes it much easier to simply fold the tortilla up around the sides of the burger.
