Eva likes to do things just like Mommy, and Amanda likes to do things just like big sister. Yesterday I gave Amanda small pieces of chicken and banana to feed herself in the high chair, while Eva and I enjoyed enchiladas. Amanda noticed our food was different and started fussing for a bite of it. I fed it to her myself (I wasn’t about to let her get red sauce all over), and she really liked it, getting upset whenever I stopped feeding her long enough to take a bite for myself.
About halfway through lunch, Eva started asking for ice cream. “No,” I said, “you have to wait until after lunch”. But she pointed to my plate and insisted, “ice cream!” I finally figured out she was talking about my sour cream. I hadn’t given her any because I didn’t think she’d like it. “It’s not ice cream, it’s sour cream,” I explained as I served her a scoop. She ate a whole spoonful by itself, smiled and said, “I like sour ice cream!” J It took me a few tries until she finally understood it was called “sour cream”. But it didn’t last long. As soon as Dave came home and I laughingly told him the story, she was back to chanting, “I like sour ice cream!”
Oh man Rachel...Enchiladas sound DIVINE! I've never had them but the pictures of them always make me drool! Post the recipe soon? PLEASE??? lol
ReplyDeleteSour ice cream...too cute!
I use the recipe that used to be on the can for La Victoria Mild Red Enchilada Sauce (the best!). I double it (enough to fill a 13x9x2" pan), and add cooked chicken. You can roll everything into traditional enchilada rolls, or you can layer the ingredients like a lasagna. Sometimes I like to garnish the top with sliced black olives. It's fantastic served with sour cream and guacamole!
ReplyDelete6 corn tortillas
5 oz. mild cheddar cheese, shredded
5 oz. Montery Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
Oil for frying
1-19 oz can La Victoria Enchilada Sauce
To Prepare: Preheat oven to 350. Heat oil in skillet ove rmedium heat. Fry each tortilla 3 seconds per side (should still be soft). Drain on paper towels. Mix the two shredded cheeses together and set aside 4oz. Pour a small amount of enchilada sauce in a shallow pan. Coat both sides of the tortilla in the enchilada sauce. Fill each tortilla with 1oz. of cheese, 1 T onion and 1 T of sauce (and chicken, if you like). Roll tortillas and place seam side down in casserole dish. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle remaining cheese over the top. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Remove fom oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serves 3-4.
