Enchiladas and a Book by Author Nancy Lee Badger

Well, I checked all my old posts while I was creating a cover reveal for last week's blog and saw that I never posted an enchilada recipe! 

We cook these at least once a month and this oven-baked method tastes better and is healthier for us than the fried version we used many years ago. 

I always make sure I have the ingredients in our pantry since it is a great easy-to-make meal when we haven't got time for something 'fancy'. 

Nancy's Mexican Enchiladas

*8 x 8 Baking Dish (I use my very old Pfaltzgraff Ceramic)

*8" Whole Wheat Soft Flat burritos (I use 6 or 7 of them)

*1- 10oz. can red enchilada sauce

*about 4oz. half & half (any milk could work, to make the sauce go farther) and reserve some sauce for the top

*1- 4oz. can diced green chilies

*1/2 lb. cooked, chopped hamburger or chicken

*1 diced onion

*8 oz shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (reserve some for the top)

*Aluminum foil

Preheat oven to 350. 

Assemble by pouring half the enchilada sauce and all milk in the baking dish. Dip one soft round shell in sauce to coat both side. Spoon meat, onion, chilies and cheese on end, roll up, and push to the end. Repeat. Pour extra sauce on top as well as leftover cheese. Cover loosely with foil. 

Bake about 20 minutes then remove foil and bake about 10 minutes more or until sauce is bubbling. Let sit 5 minutes. Reheats well. I serve dotted with sour cream.

Cover Reveal THE DUKE'S DIAMOND by Nancy Lee Badger

The second book in my Treasure Tales series will be released on 

July 9th

This story follows The Earl's Diamond, which was released last December. The story goes something like this:

Payton Hartwell, the Earl of Bellmeer, is on a quest to return signet rings to various less-than-noble men whom a dead man had blackmailed. Instead, he walks into his own kidnapping. Separated from his cousin and friend, and finding himself alone with his kidnapper’s Scottish stepsister, his travels take on a serious tone. Saving her from Viscount Manning’s despicable plans, as well as Payton’s possible murder, takes a turn during a costume ball.

 

Tara Scott cannot believe her stepbrother kidnapped a nobleman and tied him up in his country manor’s barn. She saves Payton from the bitter cold and starvation, then is punished by an irate Viscount Manning. When Payton helps her escape, they find themselves on a journey into Scotland that is filled with ruffians, a Highland bull, wild weather, and a sexual awakening that surprises them both. Back in England at a New Year’s ball and the second discovery of a huge blue diamond comes to a head when the viscount and his men attack. It will take Payton, Tara, and all his friends to thwart a man set on vengeance and treasure.

Creating a full-length book takes time and energy and was an accomplishment during months of a pandemic. I even found the time to make the cover.
