Mexican Chicken, Corn & Black Bean Cornbread Casserole

This Mexican Chicken, Corn & Black Bean Cornbread Casserole only takes 5 minutes prep time. The creamy chicken filling is topped with cheesy cornbread. I used some taco seasoning which I bought in Santa Fe New Mexico which was VERY hot! I happen to like it that way, not sure about the rest of my family!

"Fajita" literally translates to "little skirts" or "little bands.The key is to not trim off too much of the fat that covers one side of the steak. They'll melt into the cracks as the meat cooks, making each bite juicier and tastier.

Beef Tamales with Red Chili Sauce

Every Christmas eve my mother-in-law served tamales and albondigas soup. She got her tamales from a local source in East Los Angeles. My friend asked if I wanted to make tamales with her. Absolutely! We corralled another friend, who actually knows what she’s doing and my daughter. We each brought our own filling. I made beef and we also had pork and chicken. I had made tamales in the past, but only one dozen. This time, we made 150! My friend said that you have to take a shot after every dozen is completed! Given that it was 10 am when we started, I only did 2 shots, and then there were those mimosas…. It was so much fun, that I want to do it every year.
