Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken, cooked
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, toasted
  • 12-15 grapes, red or green, halved
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 Tbsp sour cream
  • 2 small celery stalks, finely diced
  • 3 Tbsp red onion, finely diced

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • green leaf lettuce
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced






Instructions

  1. Dice the cooked chicken into about ½" cubes and place in a large mixing bowl. Add grapes and walnuts and toss to combine and set aside.

  2. In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, diced celery, red onion, parsley, seasoned salt and pepper. Stir until well combined. Pour the dressing over the chicken and mix until everything is coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  3. After the salad has chilled for at least 1 hour, give it a stir and season to taste with salt and pepper. Lay a few lettuce leaves along the center of each tortilla and line up 2-3 slices of tomato on each wrap. Season lightly with salt and pepper then add about ½–¾ cup of chicken salad on top and fold the tortilla burrito-style. Wrap tightly with parchment paper and serve. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • For the fudge topping
  • 3/4 cup (128 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • For the pancakes
  • 1 cup (127 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup (66 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk or whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Mini marshmallows, for garnish






Instructions

  1. Make the topping:
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips and cream until melted. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Make the pancakes:
  4. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. In a medium bowl whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix, it’s okay to have lumps. At this point the batter can rest, covered, for up to 30 minutes.
  6. Heat an electric griddle to 350°F, or a large nonstick pan to medium heat. Coat with butter. Pour batter by 1/4 cup onto the hot pan, spacing apart. Cook until the edges are set and bubbles have formed on the top, about 2 to 3 minutes. Gently flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until done.
  7. Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven while you finish the batter and get ready to serve. Stack pancakes on plates and top with the fudge sauce and mini marshmallows.

  • Garnish (optional)
  • Garnish (optional)
  • mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray all inside surfaces of a 16 cup nonstick tube pan with nonstick cooking spray WITH FLOUR or grease and flour the inside of your pan. Set aside.*
  2. Cinnamon Walnut Streusel: Add walnuts to your food processor and pulse 3 times. Add flour, brown sugar and cinnamon and pulse a few times to combine. Sprinkle cold butter over top and pulse until the walnuts are chopped and the mixture resembles small pebbles. (You may also combine in a bowl and cut butter in by hand). Set aside in the refrigerator.
  3. Cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. Using a stand or hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy on medium high speed, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until the yellow disappears after each egg. Mix in vanilla and bananas until just until combined.
  5. Gradually add flour mixture to banana/butter mixture in thirds, alternately with sour cream in between each third. Beat until just combined. Measure out 1/4 cup batter and set aside for cream cheese filling. Stir chocolate chips and walnuts into remaining batter until just until combined.
  6. Measure out 1 cup batter (to top cream cheese layer) and spoon the rest of the batter into the prepared pan.
  7. To your now empty mixing bowl, add 1/4 cup reserved batter, cream cheese, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 cup sugar. Beat on medium high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Spoon Cream Cheese Filling over batter and gently smooth, but do not touch the sides of the pan. Spread reserved 1 cup batter evenly over filling (it will be very thin).
  8. Tap pan on counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles then sprinkle evenly with Cinnamon Walnut Streusel.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes at 350 degrees F or until toothpick inserted comes out clean (without inserting in cream cheese). Some readers have stated their cake was not done in 60 minutes, so if it's not done, bake on! Let baked cake cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Gently invert cake onto a baking sheet, remove pan, and invert back onto cooling rack streusel side up. Let cool to room temperature.
  10. When ready to serve, whisk Vanilla Glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl and drizzle over cake. Sprinkle cake with mini chocolate chips (optional)

Recipes Cookbook - CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP |#Souprecipeseasy #Cheesychickenenchiladasoup #Latinfood #7cantacosoup #Cheesychickentortillasoup #Mexicanpartyfood #Cheesychickentortillasoup #Tortellinirecipessoup #Cookingrecipes #Delicioussoup #Soupsandstews #Soupandsalad

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 of 1 yellow onion, diced (optional)*
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce (I use mild)
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chiles added in, undrained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chili beans in mild sauce (found near kidney beans in the grocery store)
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 ounces) fire-roasted corn, drained
  • 3 and 1/4 cups Swanson Chicken Stock** (you can use Swanson Chicken Broth)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 4 ounces full fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 package (8 ounces) sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 2 cups pre-shredded rotisserie chicken
  • Toppings: tortilla strips, sour cream, avocado, fresh lime, and fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Place a large dutch oven or pot over medium high heat and add the olive oil. While that oil is heating, give a quick dice to the yellow onion. Alternatively add a pre-chopped onion (or frozen chopped onion) to the oil once it is hot and shimmering. Saute, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes. (While the onion is cooking, open and prepare cans.
  2. Add in the garlic and stir for another 30 seconds. Pour in the enchilada sauce, the undrained fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained chili beans, drained and rinsed black beans, drained corn, and chicken stock or broth. Stir to combine and increase the heat to high. While it's heating through to a boil, add in the cumin, paprika, seasoned salt, pepper, and chili powder. Stir again.
  3. Meanwhile, cube the cream cheese into small cubes (it should be very softened -- melt in microwave). Once the soup is boiling, stir in the cream cheese. Let that melt down a bit while you grate the cheddar cheese.
  4. Briskly whisk the soup until the cream cheese completely melts into the soup. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Stir in the rotisserie chicken.
  5. Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream (we use fat free), a chopped avocado, fresh lime juice, tortilla strips, fresh chopped cilantro, pico de gallo, guac, etc. -- whatever you like best!
