Answer 9

BAKED CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS  

3 frozen boneless skinless chicken b*****s

1 onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

1 sm can green chilis, chopped

pkg of flour tortillas (8-10")

2 cups pkg sharp cheddar, shredded

1-2 cups mild salsa

spices and condiments, to taste

vegetable oil spray

Preheat oven to 425º.

Place frozen chicken b*****s on chopping block while you sauté the onion and peppers in small amount of oil.

Slice the frozen chicken into narrow strips, then crosswise until you have small 1 1/2 - 2 inch strips.

Remove onion mixture to a medium bowl and add chilis and 2/3 cup of salsa.

Place frozen chicken strips into a skillet and season with cumin, salt, pepper, garlic or herbs of your choice. Add a splash of oil if necessary.

Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove contents of skillet to a bowl and set aside (cover and store at this point if making ahead.)

Open a fresh package of tortillas. If not moist, cover and microwave briefly, as directed.

Place a 1/8th portion just below middle of wrap. This is usually about 1/2 cup. Cover with cheese and fold up bottom, then sides, then top. Spray wraps with oil, and lay out on a foil-covered and oil sprayed cookie sheet.

Bake for 8 minutes. Flip and bake 5 minutes more.

Remember, everything is fully cooked. You only need to warm the filling, melt the cheese and toast the tortilla.

Serve accompanied by one of the following:

Spanish rice, black olives, sour cream, more salsa, bean salad, green salad ingredients.

Cover a cookie sheet with foil and spray. Lay tortillas out and spray top of wrap.

Answer 10

You can substitute any flavored tequilla for the Almendrado. Almendrado is an almond flavored tequilla. I would also substitued the almond extract with either vanilla or some other if you aren't going to use the almond tequilla.

ALMENDRADO HOLIDAY CAKE

350 Degrees 55 minutes

1 Package Yellow Cake Mix

1 Package Vanilla Instant Pudding

4 Eggs

¾ Cup Oil

½ Cup RESERVA DEL SENOR ALMENDRADO TEQUILA

¼ Cup Milk

1 Teaspoon Nutmeg

¼ Teaspoon Almond Extract

Beat at Medium Speed for 5 Minutes. Bake in Bundt Cake Pan, Sprinkle with Powdered Sugar when done… ENJOY!!

If you want to add a glaze on top, mix a little fruit juice with powdered sugar and drizzle over the top.

Answer 11

I don't have a recipe, but it's so hard to resist a tres leches cake.  It's probably best to go to a bakery and pick one up as I hear they are difficult and very time consuming to make, but oh, they are sooooo good!
