Smothered Baked Chicken Burritos

Burritos got that much better smothered in a cheesy green chile sauce and loaded with toppings.

Occasionally, I like to make something that is maybe a little more involved and this recipe is that. The shredded chicken for the burritos, I'm sure, could be made ahead before the day you make the actual burritos. But they are also fine for the day of. The chicken is in the crockpot - so set it and forget it. Then you assemble the burritos for baking and prepare the cheese sauce while they bake. It's a lot of ingredients, but not as much work as much as prep.

Spicy Chicken Salad Wraps

When you want a quick meal with loads of flavor and a kick of heat!

Occasionally, I put wraps on the meal plan and it's often for days I know are going to be super busy. I really liked this recipe because a lot of the flavor comes from the dressing which is one of my all-time favorites: Caesar! We loaded ours up with all the fixings and they were so great. I love the croutons especially so you get a good bit of crunch!

Spicy Chicken & Avocado Tacos

A super simple chicken taco recipe loaded up with avocado and creamy cilantro lime sauce.

So I initially had this post almost ready to go and then realized that I remember making these and looking at it and going...where's the heat? How is it spicy? So when I did the marinade, I chose to add cayenne. Otherwise there is literally nothing that adds any bit of spiciness to the recipe. This is a really simple way to make chicken tacos and has lots of bright flavor from the lime. I love the creamy cilantro lime sauce a ton.

Carne Asada Street Tacos

Why have regular tacos when you can have street tacos with grilled carne asada!

I've mentioned many times that my husband has been obsessed with authentic Mexican food after traveling to San Diego for work over the past few years. I am fairly certain he lives on tacos while he's there. I know my tacos at home will never come close to the authentic food, but I do try and they are really tasty still. So these tacos were a hit because honestly you cannot go wrong with steak tacos. Plus the toppings that go with are pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and cotija cheese.

BLT Wraps

These wraps have all the best elements of BLTs and a delicious cream cheese-based sauce to boot.

I kept putting off these wraps over and over again and then finally made them. They are a really good lunch recipe in particular because they are fairly quick. I love that they aren't just bacon, lettuce, tomato. They have this delicious cream cheese sauce that has a tang of mayo and dijon mustard in it. It really compliments the wrap as a whole. To be honest, I can see myself making the sauce with regular BLT sandwiches from here on out!

Grilled Salsa Verde Chicken

A simple dinner that is perfect for a Taco Tuesday with fresh avocado and tomato, plus corn and rice with a tortilla for serving.

Nick became obsessed with salsa verde when he started traveling to San Diego for work in 2019. He wants salsa verde alllll the time. He also is kind of obsessed with this style of serving up food where the fixings are all on the side and you build your own dinner on a tortilla. I personally love taking a bite of each topping and a bite of tortilla. This is a really simple recipe but is really fantastic despite being so simple. You can definitely switch it up a little - like add different seasonings to the chicken or roasting the corn or tomatoes. Even charring the tortilla on the grill!

Crispy Chicken Tacos

What could possibly make tacos better? FRIED CHICKEN!

I'm trying to be good and get my posts for the week scheduled before the week starts. I'm almost there but I've been doing a lot of crocheting and watching Youtube instead. I got super behind on all my subs while doing college (I'm still watching September videos - eesh). This lovely recipe is genius. It's not a super involved recipe. Really you just marinade and fry the chicken and you're good to go. And really...tacos with fried chicken?! YES!!! That's just the best idea ever! We kept ours really simple and they tasted wonderful, but you can absolutely add whatever toppings you want. You could make them spicy with hot sauce or add cayenne to the marinade. It's whatever you want!

Sheet Pan Salsa Verde Chicken Fajitas

Slice, toss, and bake - these chicken fajitas are so easy to make!

I have made quite a few sheet pan recipes lately and I really enjoy the simpleness of them. I know doing fajitas in a skillet isn't that hard or take too long, but sometimes I don't want to stand in front of the stove and babysit a meal. I like having the option of throwing everything onto a baking sheet and putting it into the oven and having 20 to 30 minutes at least to do something else I need to do around the house. I also really love that this fajita recipe has poblanos in it. I feel like poblanos aren't used enough and they are so tasty!

Breakfast Burritos

Homemade hashbrowns, sausage, and egg burritos with loads of toppings are a great way to start the day!

I'm unsure how Nick stumbled upon it, but he got us all hooked on Parry Gripp songs. One of our favorites is Breakfast Burrito. It's absolutely ridiculous but it's the anthem when we make our breakfast burritos. I'm not reinventing the wheel here by posting this recipe, but I do really enjoy it. It has homemade hashbrowns and not pictured is the avocado I put on my burrito. I love that these breakfast burritos have a more Mexican feel to it with salsa, cilantro, and avocado in it.

Cheeseburger and Fries Sheet Pan Crunchwraps

What's better than Taco Tuesday crunchwraps? Burgers and fries with a delicious cheese sauce in a crunchwrap!

We make crunchwraps all the time. At least every other month, which is a lot for us. Other favorite recipes may get made a few times a year. We tried breakfast crunchwraps (will be linked at the very bottom of the post) and then I found this recipe for a cheeseburger crunchwrap...with FRIES IN IT. It's genius. It was UK recipe, so I did have to modify measurements and ingredients a smidge. But I think it turned out really well and I definitely would love to make it again.

Breakfast Crunchwraps

This crunchwrap is the perfect breakfast meal with chorizo, eggs, and hashbrowns!

My household consumes a lot of crunchwraps. We don't really get them from Taco Bell a lot, I make them homemade at least once a month. That doesn't seem like it's that often really, but we don't eat the same thing within the same year very often - just our absolute favorite foods. When I stumbled across this recipe for a breakfast version, I knew my family would lose their minds!

It's not too much more work than if you were just making sausage, hashbrowns, and eggs and it's actually pretty easy to make the crunchwraps. I have my preferred method which is slightly different than the original recipe. I think having the cheese on top with an opening helps to really glue the whole thing together. It took me some trial and error testing to figure out how to best get the crunchwrap into the pan without losing all the inside stuff, but once I figured that out...crunchwraps were a breeze. I place a spatula upside down onto the top of the crunchwrap and hold it in place. I flip the crunchwrap upside down over the pan and place it so the spatula is touching the pan. Then I quickly but carefully pull the spatula out. The cheese gets nice and crunchy and helps with the structural integrity of the crunchwrap.

This breakfast version is out of this world! I don't have it pictured, but we ate ours with salsa and sour cream, but you could do a whole slew of toppings or fixings with it.

Mexican Shredded Beef Enchiladas

Homemade enchilada sauce with slow cooked Mexican shredded beef transformed into the best enchiladas ever!

I remember when I first saw this recipe and I thought wow! So few steps! Then I realized it was 3 recipe in one. I had to prepare two other recipes before even starting this one. So this is absolutely a labor of love. Realistically speaking, you could prepare the enchilada sauce a few days in advance. I'm sure you could even do the roast a few days in advance if you wanted, but I did all three in one day because I'm home for most of the day. I think every bit of effort put into this recipe could be tasted - it was definitely the best enchiladas recipes I had ever eaten.

Taco Quesadillas

Turn those tacos into quesadillas for something a little different on Taco Tuesday!

I am not a huge fan of corn tortillas. I love my flour tortillas. However, I do try to be a little adventurous and try things I "don't like" because I may find that I actually do like those foods. I really enjoyed these quesadillas made with corn tortillas - and they weren't even crispy crunchy all the way through (like I prefer corn tortillas to be). It's a wonderful and fairly easy variation for taco night.

Chipotle Ground Beef Enchiladas

The smoky heat of chipotles really take these enchiladas to the next level!

I do not make a lot of enchiladas that are red sauce based because I honestly don't care for red enchilada sauce all that much. I couldn't pass this recipe for chipotle beef enchiladas up though because the pictures on Nutmeg Nanny looked so dang good. I looked over the ingredients and decided that I had to try it because you make the sauce from scratch and it has cocoa powder in it. I knew that this would be the perfect touch with the smoky chipotles and paprika and add a good amount of depth to the flavors. The sauce is called a chili here - most likely due to the fact that it has meat in it, but regardless, it is simmered for 90 minutes and that makes all the difference in the world. The flavors meld together beautifully as it simmers.

Creamy Salsa Verde Enchiladas

These unauthentic enchiladas are amazing with cream cheese, salsa verde, and a little kick of Rotel!

What is it about enchiladas that make them oh so delicious but also really ugly to photograph? Probably the cheese. I really enjoy enchiladas that feature a green sauce and chicken. I honestly don't know why I don't care for beef or red sauce enchiladas, but that's life *shrugs*. I appreciated this recipe so much because it had elements from my go-to enchilada recipe but new elements as well. I loved having cream cheese because it's much more substantial than doing sour cream. The cilantro (not pictured) was also a must for this recipe. It was icing on the cake...but in real life, cilantro on the enchiladas. I think that saying has the potential to take off, right? Anyways, this recipe is great and relatively simple to throw together. You could easily use rotisserie seasoning, if desired, to cut down on prep time.

1970s Style Tacos #SundaySupper

These tacos are homemade with the perfect mix of spices to bring up a feeling of nostalgia

I'm on a roll for posting with Sunday Supper Movement and today's event is EASY TACO RECIPES FOR NATIONAL TACO DAY. National Taco Day is coming up on October 4th and although my family won't be celebrating on Wednesday, we will definitely be raising a taco up in celebration on Tuesday. I normally stick to just ground beef and a packet of taco seasoning, plus the fixings for Taco Tuesdays, but occasionally, I like to mix it up a little bit and make a recipe from scratch.

What I love about these 1970s Style Tacos is that they do taste like an authentic old-fashioned taco recipe. The cayenne is optional, although I didn't list it as such because I love a hint of spiciness in my tacos! But overall, these are seriously wonderful and they aren't painstakingly difficult nor do they require much more steps than making "regular tacos" - the payoff is definitely worth making them with multiple spices rather than a premade packet of seasonings.

Tuna Melt Quesadillas

I never thought in a million years I'd eat a tuna quesadilla, but these are the bomb!

I always get a little nervous when I make a recipe with an ingredient that I know some of the family doesn't eat. In these quesadillas, that ingredient is mayonnaise. Nick hates mayonnaise. Matthew "hates" mayonnaise. Realistically, he doesn't. He used to eat tuna salad sandwiches for lunch all the time at school and didn't believe me that there is mayonnaise in tuna salad. He didn't see me make these quesadillas...and he told me that they were in his top FIVE favorite recipes. Not top ten, top FIVE. Then I revealed the mayonnaise component and he was like "Meh, they weren't that great." Mind you, I got this all on film LOL. Does anyone else have a "picky eater"? The convenient picky eater is what that child is.

I digress. I was a little weary of these quesadillas not turning out well despite the fact that I really wanted to them. I was so happy that they DID turn out well. So well! Matthew, Cami, and I devoured them. We wanted more. This is seriously such a good recipe if you love tuna melts.
