Chicken Enchilada Casserole
This is one of our family's Mexican comfort food recipes. I made it easier by cutting up the tortillas instead of rolling them. I also soften the tortillas in the microwave to avoid frying them in oil.

Southwest Breakfast Strata
I have a house full of relatives and I needed an easy breakfast option. Usually, I would make this with corn tortillas, but I liked the flour tortilla option. I have slightly tweeked this recipe. I made this the night before, which makes it so easy in the morning. All I have to do is stumble to the coffee maker and take it out of the fridge. (actually my husband does the stumbling)

Chile Cheese Egg Casserole
My friend Brady, made us a wonderful dinner. It’s a recipe that has been passed down in our town circa 1974. Over the years it has been changed and adapted each time. This is his current version.
Here is his note
“I like to mix up my cheeses if I can. Frequently I will use the Mexican 4-Cheese blend instead of plain Jack, or I may add Pepper Jack to spice things up. I once used six different kinds of cheese! The main cheese should always be Sharp Cheddar, but have fun and play with the rest, as long as you keep it at 32 ounces or so.”
