Great Hispanic Meal


Over the summer, I was in a family cook-off where my cousin and I prepared a well made meal. We served a Mexican Chop salad and Chicken and Green Chili Enchilada Casserole. The salad was made with ingredients that did not have to be cooked except for homemade chips on the side. The enchiladas were made in a glass holding container where we covered them in an enchilada sauce and melted cheese. It is a great meal and here is the recipes:

The enchilada sauce is homemade and takes time to cook. It is worth the wait for all this food. The salad is made with cut up corn tortillas that have been toasted and used as chips.
