For this week’s recipe I was inspired by an easy recipe that I ate while visiting in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This past Friday should have been my son Logan’s graduation from Physical Therapy school. He finished school and all of his rotations, but like lots of events this year COVID 19 kept the graduation from taking place. We celebrated with Logan and his wife anyway at their home. During our visit his wife Holly (who grew up in New Mexico) showed me her secret to a quick and easy way to make an enchilada casserole. The recipe is below with a quick version or an easy, almost as quick version. Of course, we were in New Mexico, so we enjoyed ours with real green chili sauce mild and hot! At restaurants in Albuquerque you can enjoy most dishes with red chili, green chili, or what the locals refer to as Christmas chili (mixture of red and green).
Like the previous Kids Cooking Recipes you can watch the video that will be posted this Friday for the easy to follow directions. What could be better than a Mexican meal you can make at home!
So, until we can cook together at the Pontotoc County Extension Office, watch the videos, make the dish, and share a picture with me of your success. If you have questions about any of the videos or about 4-H, just call Jane Chamblee your 4-H agent at 662-489-3910. Keep cooking and trying new foods!
