BBQ Chicken Taquitos

we loved these, and the leftovers heated up nicely the next day!

3 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
3/4 cup bbq sauce, I used KC Masterpeice
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterrey jack cheese
Corn Tortillas
Kosher salt
Ranch Dressing for dipping, if desired
Fresh cilantro for garnishing, if desired

Heat oven to 425*.

Mix chicken and bbq sauce together.

Warm tortillas in microwave so they won't crack when rolling up, 30-60 seconds.

Top each tortilla with a couple heaping tablespoons of bbq chicken.

Sprinkle chicken with shredded cheese.

Roll tortilla up tightly and place seam side down in baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray, trying to leave a little space between each one.

Once all the tortillas are in the dish, spray the tops with non-stick spray then sprinkle with kosher salt.

Bake 15 - 20 minutes or until the edges are becoming browned and crispy.

Optional...when serving, drizzle a little ranch over the top and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro.  A little extra ranch for dipping is nice, also.

Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Chicken

The lighting on this pic is awful, I promise it gets nice, golden brown and yummy!

So I have been on a Pinterest kick lately, but my family is benefiting with some very tasty meals, this one is no different! If you have chicken breasts or tenders, bacon and a few other pantry basics, you can make this tonight!

6 chicken tenders or 2 chicken breasts cut into thirds
6 slices bacon
chili powder
garlic powder
1 cup brown sugar

Sprinkle each piece of chicken with chili powder and garlic powder using your own judgement on how spicy you want it.

Wrap each piece of chicken with one piece of bacon, tucking ends under the bottom.

Roll each chicken/bacon bundle in brown sugar, place in baking dish.

Sprinkle remaining brown sugar over tops of chicken.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is done and bacon is starting to crisp.

Spoon extra sauce over when serving.  

Can also grill these, I didn't, but will try when the cold weather decides to make it's exit.

Greek Tomato and Feta Dip

Whoa baby was this ever good!

I found this recipe on Pinterest and knew I had to try it. It looks so fresh and tasty and I have developed a real obsession affection for Feta cheese. Doug and I were going to have this as an appetizer before a simple pork chop and pasta salad meal. Well here is what happened.....

Yes, it was that good!

Needless to say, we are having pork chops tomorrow! 

Here's what you need to put this deliciousness together...

1/3 (about) cup olive oil

3-4 roma tomatoes, diced

4-5 green onions, sliced thin

4 oz Feta cheese, crumbled

2 teaspoons Greek seasoning ( In the spice section at WalMart, Cavender's brand, yellow/red label)

1 french baguette 

Start by pouring olive oil onto your platter. Let it coat the bottom. you may need a little more or less, you be the judge.

Top oil with tomatoes, green onions, Feta cheese and Greek seasoning.

Using a spoon, gently mix everything together. 

Warm bread, then slice thin.

Spoon dip onto sliced bread and enjoy. 

This was so good guys... I could have eaten it with a spoon and no bread...mmmm! 

It reminded us of bruschetta, which we love. I can't wait to try it in the summer months when the tomatoes are garden fresh! 

For all you family members, you will be seeing this at a family gathering in the future!
