Chicken Enchilada Recipe

Today, I'm linking up with Andrea for her Recipe Club! In the summer, I love to try out new recipes, and cook. I'm so looking forward to doing that! Only 4 and a half school days left until I can do just that! I wanted to share with you this recipe that I made for Cinco de Mayo. I love, love, love Mexican food, and love cooking for this holiday! This recipe is simple, low in calories, and delicious! Use whatever brands, and add ins you like, but here is what I used!

Ingredients: (Sorry for no picture!)

2 cans Enchilada sauce (I used hot and medium)
Shredded chicken
1 can green chilies
Shredded cheese
Tortilla wraps (I used whole wheat sandwich wraps cut in half)

First, I cooked my chicken in a skillet with lots of water to almost steam cook it. I flavored my chicken by adding taco seasoning, cumin, cilantro, salt and pepper to both sides. Once it was cooked through, I let it cool then shredded it. In a sauce pan, I mixed the two cans of enchilada sauce to get it heated through.

To assemble the enchiladas, I put a small spoonful of the sauce over the wraps. Then I added the chicken, some green chilies, and some cheese. I folded them over, and put them seam side down in a 9x13 baking dish. *Make sure you spread some enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish to prevent the enchiladas from sticking!!* Continue this process until you don't have any room left in your dish, or run out of ingredients! (I told you this was simple!)

Once all of the enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the remaining sauce over the top. Then sprinkle some cheese on top! Place the dish in a 350* oven uncovered, and bake for 20 minutes or until everything is heated through. (Everyone's ovens cook differently, so adjust your cook time accordingly.)

I served mine with some plain Greek yogurt, and guacamole on top. My sides were Knorrs taco rice and black beans. I am not going to lie, my mouth was watering as I was typing this out!  ;)

If you make these, please send me a picture! I love to see your creations! Leave me a comment, and let me know how you liked them!

It's Been Awhile...

 Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet.  I will give you a little reintroduction of myself.  I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough.  I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here!  I...

YouTube-a-palooza

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!*  :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show!  You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6,  parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and  BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!"  He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...
