It has been several days since I have put my fingers on the key board. Time slows for no one. Tonight I baked one of our favorite Mexican dishes called Sanchos. When George and I were first married and he was working for the National Park Service in La Junta Colorado we experienced some of the best Mexican food ever. One of our favorite restaurants was in a private home that was only open for evening hours. The business was run by a family and there was always a line waiting when it opened. Sanchos was a favorite on the menu. We both enjoyed them so much, that through trial and error we learned to make them. Sanchos are one of those meals that are even better as left overs the next night. Easy to make and delicious .
1to 1 1/2 pound game burger - browned
1 medium onion- finely chopped and fried
2 garlic cloves-minced and fried with onions or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon celery seed (optional)
Dashes of salt and pepper to taste
1 4oz can chopped green chilies
1 19oz can green chile enchilada sauce
1 Package soft tortillas. 6-8
1 12oz shredded mozzarella cheese
Mix the spices, onions, garlic and green chilies with the browned game burger. Spread enough of the mixture on the tortilla shell so it can still be rolled up. Before rolling put several tablespoons of green chile enchilada sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese over game burger. Place rolled tort in shallow roasting dish. We use a cast iron casserole dish that helps hold the heat during serving. If you like you can also make room on your dish for a can of retried beans. Lastly pour enchilada sauce over the whole outfit, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 35- 40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. A dollop of sour cream when served can't be beat....ENJOY....
