Back 2 School Sides.."Cats Chicken Enchilada Wraps!"

 Hey y'all...hope you're having a great weekend. I've been getting projects caught up....trying to do some organizing in my sewing room and kitchen. Sometimes I don't know if I'm organizing or just 'shifiting" items to a different location. Hmmm...anyone else relate? I made a "bucket list" of items to accompolish this summer and needless to say not too many items have been scratched off. I don't know about y'all but where did this summer go??? Seeing back to school adds on t.v. honestly scared me. I'm a "Gege" & don't worry about back to school but it makes you realize how time flies too fast. I've been hosting designs on my quilt blog and working on upcoming Holiday designs as well. Seriously y'all...life is precious...make everyday count....take the good with the bad & don't get upset over things you cannot change. Adivice from my dear late daddy. He always had a positive thought even when all heck was breaking loose. Amazing man & I'm blessed to still have his positive thoughts to remember. Talking to my daughter and hearing how the hustle of back to school has already started in their summer prep made me realize to share my "easy recipes." I'll be hosting along with my "crafty designs"...Back 2 School Summer Sides & Snacks. They are my go to recipes that I still make today. I make mine with a bit of a healthi-r version due to my restrictions but adapt to your family needs. They are super fast & easy and great for those evenings when your feeding your kiddos before practices etc. I can't even imagine y'alls busy schedules with kids schedules and events. I was blessed with one beautiful daughter that participated in many events and sports and nights we're hectic. Sometimes a fast & d'lish recipe is all we need to get us through the week. The recipe I'm sharing is using pre-cooked chicken from the deli section and can be easily microwaved too. Super easy :-) Don't forget to pop on over to my Instagram page (link upper right on home page). I'll be drawing one lucky winner tonight at midnight to win the Christmas Template Set that Missouri Star Quilt Company graciously gifted me to give away. I'll be hosting "Santas Christmas Cookie Party" hostess gifts starting tomorrow on quilt blog using these adorable templates. I've already started "Santas SN-UGLY Sweater Dinner Party" runner on blog too. Tis the Season y'all :-) My link to MSQC on home page w/ save you 20% off $50. or more in August on most items for your sewing/crafting/quilting supplies. Don't forget to check out their tutorials for inspiration too. Come join the fun & thanks so much for following!

Here's all you need...

* Pre-cooked Fajita Chicken (shredded)

* 1 (10 0z.) can Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauce (mild)

* Large low carb flour tortillas

* Shredded Cheese (your fav)

* Sour creme (optional but d'lish)

* Pinch of humor :-)

Here's all you do...

* Mix shredded chicken and enchilada sauce together until evenly coated.

* Heat until warm in microwave (slightly over so it doesn't splat everywhere)

Tip...warm in small increments,,,heats up fast

* Place 2-3 Tb. of enchilada mixture in center of tortilla....sprinkle cheese on top and wrap closed.

* Fry in pan on low-medium heat until evenly browned on both sides.

Or....cover and warm in microwave. (Microwave temps vary) I do short spurts :-)

Add beans or whatever your family desires...very fast & versatile recipe!

I don't add seasoning due to the enchilada sauce. But I do love garnishing with Sour creme light on top.

Serve with a side salad & you are good to go! :-)

Enjoy & talk soon,

Cat

I can't believe August is here and summer is almost over. I don't know about y'all but this summer has flown by way to fast. I do my projects in moderation due to my back issues and most of my projects these days are very easy to follow & fast. Even my recipes have been a bit easier. You can't stand long in the kitchen with back issues but that's o.k. too. Most of the time families are hustling between games...activities for kiddos so fast & d'lish recipes seems to benefit everyone these days :-) I hope you pop on over to my quilt blog and join me on this super fun Christmas project.
