10-09 Enchiladas Gringas

I am surprised I didn't get this recipe on here sooner since we make it so often.

In hot skillet, heat up
1 c cooked chicken, chopped
1 can of black or red kidney or pinto beans, drained (or a combo of beans)
1 T or more taco seasoning
Stir until heated through and remove from heat.
Extra mix can be frozen and used later in burritos and tacos, etc.

To assemble:
Spread half of a flour tortilla with sour cream and
Spread a large spoonful of chicken mixture on the other half
Sprinkle with frozen corn and add
pico de gallo or another salsa or chiles or taco sauce on top of meat and corn.
Sprinkle all with shredded Mexi , Jack or sharp cheddar cheese, etc.
Roll tortilla up. Be sure some cheese is in that last part (it melts and keeps the roll together)
Place desired quantity of rolls (about 8 for this recipe) in a baking dish with sides.
At this point, they can be frozen until later. If you do this, thaw before the next step.
Pour enchilada (homemade or 1 can) sauce over the entire dish.
Sprinkle with a bit of cheese and cover.
Bake in 325 oven for about 30 minutes or about 15 in microwave.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Swedish almond cake = nötkaka

How did I miss putting this recipe on here years ago?! There are several versions. The original here is from the Swedish classic Sju Sorters Kakor. For presentation it is baked in a special ribbed pan - widely available and not expensive - called a Swedish/Rehrucken/Almond cake loaf pan.  They are about 4.75 x 12.25 inches & 2 inches deep.  It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design.  Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it.  Recipe:  Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig":  2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time:   1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients:  1 1/2 t almond e...
