Sausage Tortizzas!

On my menu, I called these 'Sausage Pizza on Homemade Tortillas,' but I like the new name better.

I came up with these using recipes from the past.

To make the Tortillas, go here, and for the Pizza Sauce, look here.

The rest is super easy!

I used Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles and layered different cheeses with it and sauced it all up!

I really loved this!  I am obsessed with the Tortilla recipe!  It was easier this time than the last because I learned from the mistakes I made.

I really challenge you to TRY the Tortillas.  Just try it!  If you hate it and think it's a waste of time, you never have to do it again.

Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas with Homemade Tortillas

oooohhh la la :)

 Homemade Tortillas



I cannot and I will not take credit for this easy and delicious recipe.  Thank you, Mommy's Kitchen for sharing it with me!  I was pretty impressed with myself and even allowed myself a personal pat on the back for the way these turned out.  Are they necessarily more frugal than purchasing tortillas?  Not really; tortillas are often on sale and there are always coupons for them; HOWEVER, it definitely added a little something extra to the meal and I plan to make them again.



Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas

This, too, was a little bit of a cheat.  Thanks to Harris Teeter Super Doubles this week, I scored some free McCormick Recipe Inspirations, but here are the spices included:

1 tsp Minced Garlic

1 tsp Minced Onion

3/4 tsp Ground Cumin

3/4 tsp Oregano Leaves

1/2 tsp Cilantro Leaves

1/2 tsp Black Pepper

You will also need:

1/4 cup lime juice

1/4 lemon juice (the recipe calls for orange juice, but I had lemon and love it on chicken)

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp salt

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast cut into strips

8 flour tortillas

Mix lime juice, lemon juice, oil, spices and salt in a small bowl.  Save about 1/4 of the marinade for later and place chicken in a bag or air-tight container.  Refrigerate/Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook and stir chicken in heated skillet on med-high heat.  After browned, add additional marinade and cook until tender.

I added some corn to mine and it was really yummy!

Easy Peasy Quesagna!

Tonight, we tried a little something I like to call 'Quesagna' for obvious reasons - isn't it obvious?  Maybe just to me.  It's a mix between Quesadillas and Lasagna.  YUM!  It was also ridiculously easy, so it's quite the Easy Peasy addition!

You will need:

1 lb Ground Beef

1 can Hormel Chilli w/ Beans

1 can Kidney or Pinto Beans

9 Tortillas

1.5 cups Shredded Cheese (whatever you have!)

Preheat the oven to 350.

Brown the beef in a pan w/ EVOO.  Drain.  Return to pain and mix with Hormel Chilli and Beans.  DONE WITH THE FILLING!

Put 1/2 of the mixture in a lightly greased baking pan.  Pile 3 tortillas on top and add 1/2 of what is left of the mixture on top as well as 1/2 of the cheese.  Layer 3 more tortillas and finish off with the remainder of the mixture and cheese.  Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes or until cheese melts!

DELISH!
