Rolled Chicken Tacos


Okay, before I even begin on this one I want to start with the disclaimer that I am NOT 100% Hispanic. I'm probably more like 12%. That being said I won't be providing an authentic flauta recipe this time around. Maybe in the near future I'll expand and go for authentic but as for now this is Tex-Mex. I would like to take this time to confirm that although I am not as Hispanic as some of us would like, I AM 100% Texan so there's that. Now, enough about my Ancestry.com and let's get to this!


Rolled Chicken Tacos


Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 C shredded chicken
  • 6-8 oz Cream Cheese (I have used the whole 8 oz and it seems to be almost too much when you add the shredded cheese. Which brings us to our next bullet...)
  • Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese
  • 1 can of Chopped Green Chiles
  • Yellow, Green, and Red Bell peppers (not necessarily the WHOLE peppers but just enough for color and taste...but mostly color.)
  • Onion (maybe equal amount of onion to peppers.)
  • Taco seasoning
  • Corn or Flour tortillas (homemade or store bought. I used store bought flour.)
Directions:
  1. Saute your onions, green chiles, and peppers together. 
  2. When your veggies are soft add your shredded chicken and cream cheese. 
  3. Once your cream cheese it melted and your chicken and vegetables have been mixed together thoroughly add your taco seasoning. 
  4. Take your cheesy chicken veggie mix and add it to your tortillas along with the shredded cheese.
  5. Roll them tightly!!
  6. This next step can be done one of two ways. You can either bake these for 10-12 minutes (or until golden brown) at 400 degrees or fry them in a small pan of oil at 325 degrees for about 5 minutes per side. (I chose this method. I know, I know. I'm terrible. But they don't call me PhatChef for nothing.)
  7. Once they're all baked/fried and perfectly golden brown  you can dress them up however you want! I've used salsa, shredded lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo, jalapanos, sour cream, queso, Cotija Cheese.... the possibilities are ENDLESS!! 
So what'd you think? Pretty simple. Not too bad, huh? This is one of my very favorite things to make. They really take no time at all. Let me know how they turned out, what you thought of them and what you may have added to make it your own by either commenting here, commenting on the PhatChefBlog Instagram, or feel free to DM the Instagram. It doesn't matter to me, I'm dying to know what y'all have to say!!

 Until next time,

Basic Pancakes

This is the most basic and simple pancake recipe and the pancakes come out so thick and fluffy it's ridiculous. Once I started making pancakes from scratch I never got them from a box or a Bisquick Shake & Make. No offense but honestly...where's the comparison here? I don't have an actual picture of the pancakes because I haven't made any here lately but as soon as I make some I will take a picture and delete this whole last sentence!  Basic Pancakes Ingredients: 1 Egg 1 1/2 C flour 3 1/2 tsp baking powder (and make sure its a TEASPOON and not a TABLESPOON. I confused the two once and ended up having to make sooo many pancakes because you can't really take it out once its in there so I just added more flour and everything else. What's a girl to do?) 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 C sugar 1 1/4 C milk Directions: Combine wet ingredients Combine dry ingredients Mix together Heat pan to medium heat (either a greased pan or a nonstick if you f

Stuffed Mushrooms

I was never a huge mushroom fan until I was tricked into eating them by the older sister of a friend. Needless to say I don't quite trust her when it comes to food anymore. Regardless, I made these sometime last year and shared them with my neighbor because she's the only person near me that eats mushrooms and she enjoyed them WAY more than I did, although I did think they were pretty damn good. So here we go... Stuffed Mushrooms Ingredients: 4 portobello mushrooms, or 12 large white mushrooms 1 small red bell pepper 1/4 medium onion, minced (not 1/4 C but 1/4 of the whole onion) 2 green onions, minced 1 garlic clove, minced 2 bacon strips, diced 1 oz cream cheese 2 TBSP bread crumbs 2 TBSP shredded mozzarella garlic and onion powder, to taste salt and pepper to taste Directions: Preheat oven to 400 F Clean mushrooms and separate caps from stems. Place mushrooms caps on baking sheet, stem side down. Brush with oil and season with salt and pep

Banana Pudding

Just so you're aware before you get into this and then you're like "Wait...whaaaa-?" This is NOT  your momma's banana pudding recipe. Unless it is. All I know for sure about momma's and banana pudding is that this ISN'T my momma's recipe but she DOES love it.  Banana Pudding Ingredients: milk (good ol' certified cow calcium) (1) 3.4 oz box Banana Pudding mix (Instant or heat and serve. I used heat and serve without reading the box and needless to say it took me two tries to get it right. I also grabbed Banana CREAM pudding instead of regular banana... I don't pay a lot of attention to things. Anyways, all are great options. You can even make your own pudding if you'd care to.) Nilla Wafers (please please please please grab the Name Brand Nilla wafers and not the Walmart Great Value brand. Nothing against Great Value or any off brand labels but NIlla Wafers are not the same as "Vanilla Flavored Wafer Cookies")
