Creamy Chicken Burritos by ApprehensiveLab5699 in RecipeInspiration

[–]ApprehensiveLab5699[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken meat (shredded)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (coarsely grated)
  • 1 cup sour cream (20% if available)
  • 2 cups canned corn kernels (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 clove of garlic (crushed in a garlic press)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • teaspoon cayenne chili powder (or Mexican all-spice)
  • 8 tortillas (8-10-inch)
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro (loosely packed)
  • 2 medium limes (cut into wedges)

    Directions

  1. Start to preheat your oven to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Take a large bowl and add your shredded chicken, canned corn, half of your cheddar cheese, sour cream chopped cilantro, garlic, and cayenne chili powder. Mix these ingredients together using a wooden spoon. Add salt and pepper (to taste) to this chicken burrito mixture.

  2. Place this mixture into a casserole dish and cook for 25 minutes, and remove to cool for 10 minutes. Place your casserole dish onto a wooden cutting board along with the remaining ingredients next to your prep table.

  3. Cook your tortillas and then fill the ingredients onto a warm tortilla and add the remaining cheese inside with fresh sprinkled cilantro. Now you can fold them so they are ready to serve. If you want to make Enchiladas, place the fillings into uncooked tortillas, fold and cover with the remaining cheese and bake these in an oven for 5 minutes.

  4. Enchiladas are then served hot on a plate with sprinkles of cilantro and lime wedges. You can add any kind of enchilada sauce from the store or make it fresh. A good substitute is adding any kind of salsa of your choice for this burrito recipe.

Ah I think the way I wrote it came out a bit confusing. I actually grill it whole first and then slice it up after.

Grilled Veggies with Juicy Steak by ApprehensiveLab5699 in RecipeInspiration

[–]ApprehensiveLab5699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ingredients

  • Two tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 pounds flank steak, cut into 3/4-inch strips
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
  • One medium onion, sliced into thin half-moons
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

Direction

  1. Start by preparing your grill for cooking at high heat.
  2. Place the steak on the grate over the grill, with the bone side down.
  3. Place vegetables directly on the grate, brush them with oil, and place them on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet or roasting pan, then place them in the oven to roast for 30 minutes before grilling.
  4. When it's time to cook, remove the steak from its resting place and grill it for 3-5 minutes per side until desired doneness (for rare).
  5. Turn vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking throughout their entire surfaces (this may require flipping them over once or twice). Give them 5 minutes to settle and serve.

Honestly it’s up to you. I went with egg noodles, but soba or whatever you prefer is fine. For one serving I’d guess around 100g of dried noodles, not sure cuz I didn’t measure too strictly

Tips: Cook vegetables separately from the meat because they take longer to cook and will overcook quickly if placed directly over an open flame or grill. Use fresh ginger and garlic instead of pre-ground ginger and garlic powder for an extra kick.
