For The Beginner Chef

I have friends who actually do not know how to make a simple meal in the kitchen. I secretly pray that they ask one if not both of their parents (who I am pretty sure knows how to cook otherwise they wouldn't be here) to assist the in the kitchen for a family meal at least.
Especially those being young women, the ratio to the males that I know who actually can cook overrides my female peers. I would say that its pitiful but it actually 'Just happens that way'. To me personal it seems unreal because I've been raised in the kitchen with a grandmother )who I need to call for a cheesecake recipe) had me making pastry from scratch.
I feel desserts should ATLEAST be the first thing you learn to cook BUT I will start with something simple.
Hope you all learn from my entries and enjoy a good simple meal. :)


Sounds yummy and delicious and can be made with no big hassles for those cooking-impaired chefs who are crawling

I present to you:

Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas

Recipe:

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup Pace® Picante Sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
6 flour tortillas (6-inch), warmed
1 small tomato, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 green onion, sliced (about 2 tablespoons)

Heat the oven to 350°F. Stir the soup, sour cream, picante sauce and chili powder in a medium bowl.

Stir 1 cup soup mixture, chicken and cheese in a large bowl.
Divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas. Roll up the tortillas and place seam-side up in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Pour the remaining soup mixture over the filled tortillas. Cover the baking dish.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the enchiladas are hot and bubbling. Top with the tomato and onion.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with iceberg salad mixed with carrots and red cabbage and a red wine viniagrette. For dessert serve prepared refrigerated flan.

RECIPE TIPS
Tip: Stir 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed, into the chicken mixture before filling the tortillas.
