    Ingredients










    Directions

    Heat oven to 350°F.

    Tuck each of the tortillas into the cups of a standard-sized muffin pan, gently pleating the edges of the tortillas so that they fit snugly inside each cup, careful not to let the tortillas fold too closely into the middle (since we’ll need an opening for the filling later). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortilla cups have hardened slightly on all sides. Remove and set aside.

    While the tortillas are baking, combine the enchilada sauce, black beans, green chiles, chicken, and corn together in a large mixing bowl. Toss until the ingredients are evenly combined.

    Once the tortilla cups are ready, carefully spoon the filling into each cup until it is filled nearly to the brim. Place a pinch of cheese on top of each tortilla cup. Then return the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is warmed through.

    Remove from the oven, and sprinkle the top of each cup evenly with cilantro and green onions. Serve warm.

    Ingredients











    Directions

    Squeeze the juice of one lime half over the flesh of the avocados to prevent oxidation. Brush cut-side of avocado halves, remaining lime halves, and both sides of the red onion slices with olive oil. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

    Preheat grill over a medium-high flame. Oil grill.

    Grill onions until soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes per side. Grill avocados and limes, cut-side down, until grill marks appear with a light char, about 5 minutes. Times may vary by grill. Remove to platter to cool.

    When avocados are cool enough to handle, scoop flesh into a large bowl and mash to desired consistency (I like to leave my guacamole a little chunky). Chop grilled onions (you should have between ½ and ¾ cup).

    Stir chopped onions, garlic, cilantro, ground cumin, ½ tablespoon (1-½ teaspoons) extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper into the mashed avocados.

    Add 1-2 tablespoons grilled lime juice, to taste, and stir to combine. Cover and let stand at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.

    Serve, with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and an additional pinch of cilantro, if desired. Bake Sonora Tortillas until golden and crispy for dipping.

    Ingredients






    Honey Buffalo Sauce







    Directions

    Add chicken to slow cooker. Whisk together the Honey Buffalo Sauce ingredients and pour HALF of the sauce over the chicken. Reserve the rest. Cover and cook on high 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Shred chicken when tender.

    Whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water and add to shredded chicken along with cream cheese. Stir to combine. Let cook on HIGH for an additional 30-60 minutes or until thickened and creamy, then stir in remaining Honey Buffalo Sauce. If your sauce doesn’t thicken completely for some reason, then use tongs to assemble chicken so you don’t get extra liquid in the taquitos.

    To assemble, add a heaping ¼ cup chicken filling to the center of each tortilla and top with a heaping tablespoon cheese. Tightly roll up tortillas.

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add taquitos and cook, until golden brown on all sides, rotating as needed, approximately 2 minutes. Repeat until taquitos are all cooked. Serve taquitos with ranch, blue cheese dressing/sauce or BBQ sauce – or just eat plain!

    Ingredients







    Directions

    In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, olive oil and taco seasoning. Set aside.

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add about 1 tablespoon olive oil or canola oil and add 1/2 of the chicken. Leave undisturbed for 3-4 minutes so that the chicken can brown. Next, start to stir occasionally until cooked through, about 5 minutes longer.

    Remove the chicken to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken.

    Meanwhile, whisk together the lime juice and honey.

    Just as the chicken is finishing, add the green onions in and stir until sautéed.

    Quickly add back in the first batch of chicken as well as the honey mixture and stir until the majority of the liquid coats the chicken. Serve immediately on baked Sonora Tortillas, tacos, fajitas, tacos or baked as chips.

    Ingredients














    Directions

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef and onions and cook until beef is cooked through. Add bell pepper, garlic and spices and saute for two minutes. Add brown sugar, tomatoes, beans, mangoes, ¾ of the coke can and chipotle peppers; adding chipotle peppers 1 at a time until you reach desired heat.

    Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until chili has thickened to desired consistency and flavors have melded. Stir occasionally. If you prefer your chili less thick you can add the remaining coke after simmering.

    Top with shredded cheese, chopped mangoes, crushed tortilla chips and chopped cilantro.
