WOW Chicken Enchiladas

  • 12 chicken tenderloin pieces
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz. sour cream
  • 2 1lb. pkg Monterrey cheese (I like the kind with jalapenos), shredded
  • 1 can chopped green chilies
  • 8 green onions, chopped
  • 1 can cream of onion soup
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup picante sauce
  • 12 regular size flour tortillas

Boil chicken tenders in water until done. Let cool. In a small bowl mix both soups and picante sauce. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, 1 pkg. cheese, sour cream, green chilies, and green onions. Shred chicken by hand or in a food processor. ( I use the processor!) Add the chicken to the cheese mixture. Put half of the soup mixture in the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish. Heat tortillas in microwave to soften. Spread 4 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the tortillas, and roll up. Put the seem down. Repeat until all 12 tortillas are filled. Pour the second half of the soup mixture over the enchiladas. Spread second package of Monterrey cheese over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Enjoy! Yes, the taste wow you!

Banana Caramel Pie

  • 4 Banana’s Sliced
  • 2 Cans Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 Deep Pie Shell Crust
  • 1 Small Container Cool Whip

Boil Condensed Milk in Cans for 3 hours, once milk has been boiled, let set for about 5 minutes. When milk is boiling go ahead and bake your pie crust till golden brown. Open cans of boiled milk, which is now your caramel, pour into a bowl, with a whisk mix till caramel is creamy.
Spoon out a layer of Caramel into bottom if pie crust, then add a layer of bananas and repeat layers. Make sure your last layer is Caramel. After all layers are repeated set and cool, the trick to this recipe is to place in refrigerator without a cover and no Cool Whip, let set overnight. Top with Cool Whip…

I promise this is the easy pie in the world and everybody will be impressed. This pie will cost you about $7.00 to make and if you buy at a Bakery about $40.00, so impress your friends and family with this great and delicious recipe.

** Hint make sure your water is boiling and never stops boiling to do this, keep hot running water in your Coffee Pot, when water starts boiling down pour hot water over cans ** THIS IS THE ONLY DIFFICULT PROCESS TO MAKING THIS PIE.
