Fire Roasted Artichokes

Mom,
Can Dad make these for me?

Fire Roasted Artichokes
1. Remove stem- just snip the stem so it's about an inch long

2. Trim the bracts- Take a pair of kitchen shears (or a clean pair of scissors) and snip the tips all the way around. You can take a sharp knife and just cut off the very top.

3. Steam- Bring to boil a couple inches of water in a pot with a steamer insert (a mesh strainer will work if you're in a pinch), place artichokes in stem side up and cover pot with a lid. If you are going to eat your artichokes just steamed then they'll need to stay in there for anywhere from 30-60 minutes depending on the size. For these Fire Roasted Artichokes, just steam for 20 minutes and then remove and let cool until cool enough to handle.

4. Slice artichoke in half

5. Remove the choke- remove purple flesh and use a spoon to scoop at choke. Slicing with a knife will make choke removal easier.

6. Oil and Season- Brush both sides of artichoke with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper

7. Grill- place artichoke on a preheated grill (medium heat) center side up. Grill with lid closed for about 10 minutes and then flip. Continue grilling for another 5-10 minutes until you have nice grill marks and the flesh appears soft.

8. Serve and eat! Place on a serving dish with your desired dipping condiments.

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

My Picky Interpretation
3 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup green enchilada sauce
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp granulated garlic
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup cheese
Tortillas
Cooking Spray
Salt

Recipe by OurBestBites.com
1/3 C (3 oz) cream cheese
1/4 C green salsa
1T fresh lime juice
1/2 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t granulated garlic or garlic powder
3 T chopped cilantro
2 T sliced green onions
2 C shredded cooked chicken
1 C grated pepperjack cheese
about 16 small corn or flour tortillas (we liked flour better)
kosher salt
cooking spray

Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.

Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.

You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.

The corn tortillas are harder to roll without cracking. For the corn tortillas: work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking. It helps to place them between damp paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If you find yours are cracking when you roll them or come unrolled right away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.

Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges.

Then roll it up as tight as you can.

Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or an oil mister and sprinkle some kosher salt on top.

Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown. Makes around 16 taquitos.

Dip in salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or Tomatillo Dressing. They would be great with black beans and this Cilantro Lime Rice.
