Chicken Fajitas w/ Refried Beans

Dinner Tonight: Chicken Fajitas w/ Refried Beans

Still a bit cool this morning and we still got a cool breeze blowing, but lots of sunshine. Started off with a bowl of Kroger Brand Bran Flakes. Cleaned up the kitchen and had my morning workout. Cleaning the house was about it. Went to the bank and dropped off some letters at the Post Office, also stopped at the car wash and had my car cleaned inside and out. For dinner tonight Chicken Fajitas w/ Refried Beans.
 




I used Ortega Fajita Skillet Sauce for my Fajita Sauce Base, I love using the Ortega Sauces. To prepare I’ll need the following; the Ortega Fajita Skillet Sauce, Simple Truth Roaster Chicken, Delallo Tri-Color Pepperazzi Spicy Sweet Peppers, Chopped Jalapeno slices, Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream, fresh Shredded Sargento Asiago Cheese, and Mission Flour Tortillas. Same ingredients as the other night except a different Ortega Sauce and I’m using Chicken instead of Shrimp.


For the Chicken I purchased a Simple Truth Rotisserie Whole Chicken from the Kroger Deli earlier. Pulled all the meat and used it for my Fajitas.

I heated up a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a medium size skillet over medium heat. I started by slicing the Sweet Peppers into strips and adding them to the skillet, stirring them and cooking until tender (about 4 minutes). Stirred in the Chicken and sliced Jalapenos, stirred this for about 5 minutes. Then added the Ortega Fajita Skillet Sauce, cooking another 3 minutes till everything was heated through. Heated up the tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds and topped them with a dab of the Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream and the Chicken Fajita Mixture. I also topped it some fresh grated Asiago Cheese, and served. I keep packets of the Ortega Skillet Sauces in stock, it makes one delicious Fajita! Had a nice heat to it but not overpowering and the taste of the Ortega Sauce is incredible!Served with a side of Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Chili Dog Casserole

Dinner Tonight:  Chili Dog Casserole w/ Refried Beans and Tossed Salad

Wow, what a long night! Had a bad bout with those Phantom Pains all last night and into the early afternoon today. It started last night around 7:00 and as the night wore on the pain kept getting worse. I ended with maybe and hours worth of sleep. So most of my afternoon was catching up on some much needed sleep. Sure wish they would come up with a cure to battle Phantom Pains, but no proven cures out there. We had another day in the 40's but it gradually got colder as the day went on. For dinner tonight I tried a new recipe,  Chili Dog Casserole.

I came across the recipe from a Kraft Foods Recipe Email, 4-Ingredient Chili Dog Casserole. To prep it I'll need just 4 Ingredients; 1 can  (15 oz. each) Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans, 3 Ball Park Smoked White Turkey Franks, 3 Flour Tortillas (6 inch), 1/4 cup Sargento Reduced Calorie Shredded Sharp Cheddar. To prepare it couldn't be much easier. Place 1 Turkey Frank on each Tortilla; roll up. Place, seam sides down, over chili. Sprinkle with cheese; cover. Baked for about 25 min., the Chili and Franks were are heated through and cheese melted. This makes one delicious Casserole dish! Just like having a Cincinnati Style 3 Way Coney, only with a Tortilla instead of a Bun. A Keeper Recipe! The original Kraft Recipe and web link is at the end of the post.For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.








4-Ingredient Chili Dog Casserole

Kraft kitchens tips

 SERVING SUGGESTION Don't let the fun stop at the entree! Round out the meal with a fun salad bar. Set out a large bowl of torn mixed salad greens and small bowls filled with chopped fresh vegetables. Then let everyone pick their favorite salad toppers and make their own fun salad.
MAKE AHEAD This is a perfect make-ahead recipe. Throw this four-ingredient family pleaser together the night before, then refrigerate until ready to bake as directed.
NO BEANS PLEASE Prepare using chili without beans.
