Mexican Scrambled Eggs
I found this recipe online very early in the morning. It's from Nigella Lawson. I had all the ingredients and made it within 5 minutes of reading the recipe. There is nothing more satisfying than that. I even used one of my jalapeños from my garden. I have modified the recipe slightly to include cheese and finishing it under the broiler. Everyone at my breakfast table LOVED it.....

Chipotle’s Marinated Chicken
This is my version of Chipotle's Marinated Chicken. The key to this recipe is to marinate it for a full 24 hours. It's so juicy and delicious.

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)

Tamale Pie
This Tamale Pie takes less then 5 minutes to throw it in a casserole dish! The Trader Joe's "tasting station" is a place for some culinary inspiration. It's where they hand out samples for you to try. I almost always buy whatever they are demoing. It was this tamale pie. I am not a big fan of polenta (unless it's crispy), but I have to say I really liked this dish. It's something you could have in your pantry. You could even make it vegetarian by using vegetarian chili instead of chicken or turkey. The original recipe calls for a jar of their Cowboy Caviar, but I actually used the corn salsa instead.

Pork Chile Verde
The tomatillo is a plant of the nightshade family, related to the Cape gooseberry, bearing small, spherical and green or green-purple fruit of the same name. Tomatillos originated in Mexico, and are a staple of that country's cuisine. The fruit is surrounded by an inedible, paper-like husk.

Viva la Chicken
My friend Suzanne gave me this recipe years ago. I'm not sure why it's called Viva La Chicken! I made this for my school hot lunch program last week. Some kids raved about and some were not so thrilled.
