Carol's Enchiladas That Saved My Soul - (ThinkJump Journal #84 with Kim Gentes)
Monday, March 18, 2013 at 10:32PM 
One of the favorite teachings I've heard is by Professor Peter Fitch. The sermon is called "Fat Souls". It is a great teaching about how ancient voices from church history can feed us with good things and deepen our relationship with God. You can find Pete's teaching on this in both a book format (Catching God's Heart, Destiny Image 2010) and online at the website of his home church, SCV (audio teaching and PowerPoint). I needed just this type of wildly obscure reference to spirituality and food to bring together a topic near and dear to my heart and stomach. My wife's enchiladas!
Monster Delicious Enchiladas
- 1 can Rosarita mild enchilada sauce, 28ozs.
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can tomato soup
- 2 tsp. vinegar (white)
Filling ingredients- 4 lbs. ground beef - lightly browned
- 4 cups grated cheddar cheese (mild) + extra 1/2 cup to sprinkle on top
- 8 Large Size Mission Flour tortillas
- Oil
- 1/2 a bunch of green onions cut up
- Sour cream
- Step 1 - Mix and heat the sauce ingredients.
- Step 2 - For the filling- Cook the meat until browned. Once the meat is cooked, drain the fat, then add the cheese and melt it into the ground beef, mixing it together. This helps the ground beef stick together nicely.
- Step 3 - Fry tortillas quickly on both sides in a fry pan/skillet on medium heat. Be sure the pan is lightly greased with oil.
- Step 4 - pre-spray a 10x14 inch glass pan with a non-stick spray, such as Pam. Pour a little of the enchilada sauce mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Step 5 - For each of the 8 tortillas you have just fried, place a generous helping of the meat filling (ground beef & cheese mixture) on the tortilla. Once the filling is on tortilla, sprinkle with an additional amount of cheddar cheese. Roll, and arrange in glass dish, seam side down.
- Step 6 - Pour on remaining sauce over the wrapped tortillas, completely covering them. Sprinkle with the additional grated cheese. Then top with green onions. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
OK, now the most important instructions---
Eat it. And enjoy something like this.
If you feel you need one more highly inspirational thought because you are reading my blog, then offer up this nice one from the quote-master himself, Mark Twain--
Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.
Mark Twain
God bless & happy eatin!
