Lime and Jalapeno Corn Salad

Lime & Jalapeno Corn Salad with Watermelon

I was craving watermelon this weekend and decided to try out a new recipe. This Lime and Jalapeno Corn Salad with Watermelon tasted great with feta cheese.  The sweetness of the watermelon and corn balanced with the spiciness of the jalapenos were a great combination.  Adding the Feta cheese balanced it all out along with freshly squeezed lime juice.

I boiled the corn because I was in a hurry to pull dinner together quickly.  However, grilling the corn would have made this salad taste even better!

Watermelon

Summertime is the best because I absolutely love watermelon.  It’s so refreshing especially when it’s over 100 degrees outside.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole

July 7, 2017

Chicken Enchilada Cassarole

My husband loves anything with my homemade spicy salsa in it, so I decided to use it partly as my enchilada sauce for my Chicken Enchilada Casserole.  I also mixed a bit of some store bought green sauce.  I like to make my green sauce when I can, but it can be time consuming since those tomatillos are so darn small.  If you get a good brand from the store, it can be just as good and much easier if you are in a hurry.

I added black beans and corn to mine.  You can pretty much add anything to this dish and it will taste great!

Instructions
  1. Bake the chicken in the oven at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool, shred and set aside.
  2. Pour the green sauce into a bowl which will be used to coat both sides of the tortilla.
  3. Pour a little green sauce on the bottom of the casserole pan. Then coat approximately 6 corn tortillas and place in the bottom of the pan. Then add some of the homemade salsa on top.
  4. Add a layer of shredded chicken, chopped onions, corn, black beans, jalapenos, and cheese. pour some of the green sauce and the homemade salsa on top.
  5. Start the process over again. You should be able to get 2 to 3 layers depending on how tall your casserole dish is.
  6. Top with cheese and jalapenos. I added some feta cheese on the top as well, but you don't need to do that. I only added it because I had it.
Recipe Notes

Sheri's Homemade Salsa:

Add 6 to 8 Roma tomatoes, 6 jalapenos, approximately 4 to 6 garlic cloves, and if you like it really spicy add about 5 habanero peppers as well to a cooking sheet.  Lightly brush a small amount of olive oil to everything and place in the oven at 400 for approximately 40 minutes.  Check the oven frequently to ensure you did not over cook anything.  You will likely have to take the habaneros out sooner than everything else because they are smaller.

I don't take the skin off of anything.  Once I let everything cool, I cut the ends off the Roma tomatoes as well as the stems from the peppers.  Then I place everything in a food processor until everything is mixed together.  Then voila you have homemade salsa.

Many people like to add cilantro, but I usually don't since I have a few friends that are allergic.  It's just safer to leave out since it's seems to be a common allergy.
