Leah's Taco Soup

This comes highly recommended from my friend, Leah, and my family loved it! I used a little less taco seasoning because I know Ed and Leah like things spicy. We ate it with sour cream, cheddar cheese, and Ritz or tortilla chips :) And I just throw all the ingredients into the crockpot and leave it all day :)

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef or sausage
chopped onion to season beef
2 cans stewed tomatoes
1 lg. can tomato sauce
2 pkgs taco seasoning
2 cans kidney beans
2 cans corn, drained

Directions:
1. Brown 1# ground beef or sausage with chopped onion.
2. Put meat in large pot. Add 2 cans stewed tomatoes, 1 lg. can tomato sauce, 2 pkgs. taco seasoning, 2 cans kidney beans, 2 cans corn (drained).
3. Cook for about 1/2 hour - sorry to be vague. You're pretty much just warming it all up. You can also put this in the crockpot on low.
**I usually only make HALF of this recipe b/c the whole thing feeds quite a few people**

Leah's Chicken Enchiladas

I got this great and easy recipe from my friend, Leah Payne. Mark and I happen to like enchilada sauce better than salsa, so we pour that over the top instead. Mark also likes beef enchiladas, so I usually double the recipe, make half of them chicken and half of them beef, and freeze a pan of it before cooking. It’s a great time-saver later on when I don’t have time for dinner!! I've been trying to stay away from canned soup, so I've been making it by just layering cream cheese, salsa, meat, and shredded cheddar inside the tortilla instead.

Ingredients:
1 large can Chopped Chicken (or 2 C. cooked chicken breast, chopped)
1 can Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
½ C. Sour Cream
1 8 oz. pkg. Shredded Cheese (I prefer Mexican, but whatever you like)
6 10”-12” Tortillas
1 ½ C. Salsa

Directions: Mix Chicken, Soup, Sour Cream, and 1 cup of Cheese until well blended. Mentally divide the mixture into 6 parts. Scoop into center of each Tortilla; roll up. Place, seam side down, in greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with the Salsa and remaining Cheese. Bake in a 350º oven for 25-30 minutes, thawed.
