Creamy, Cheesy Chipotle Chicken
A chipotle is a smoke-dried jalapeño. You can buy chipotles in a can with adobo sauce, which has chipotles that are stewed in a sauce with tomatoes, garlic, vinegar, salt, and spices. The first time I made tortilla soup, I used a whole can of chipotles! The recipe called for one canned chipotle. Let's just say it was smoking hot soup!!!
This Creamy, Cheesy Chipotle Chicken has a great smoky flavor and is cheesy and comforting. It's easy to make and perfect for a dinner after a busy day.

Green Chile Frito Pie
Frito pie is traditionally chili meat, cheese poured into a snack-sized sack of Frito chips cut open sideways. This recipe is more of a bowl. I had it at the Plaza Café in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was probably one of the best things I eaten in a long time. I have always been a fan of green Hatch chilies. This Green Chili Frito Pie was so good and VERY spicy, just they way I like it!
