Enchiladas are the quickest dish to make for dinner. A great idea is to try to have the simple ingredients at home to grab at any given time, such as the sauce, the tortillas and cheeses. Today I did not use red sauce, green was my choice this time. Approximate Prep and Cooking Time: 30 minutes Approximate Cost: $10.78 or $5.39 per serving Difficulty Level: X Easy ____ Intermediate ____ Advanced Servings: 2 + Ingredients ½ lb. ground chicken ($2.50) 2 tsp. olive oil (.35) 1 tsp.

***WARNING: I always try to use Old El Paso brand sauce because it’s gluten free, other brands (like “Essential Everyday”), are not. Please Always read the ingredients if you have family members that can’t eat products with gluten.

I think that variety in meals make them more attractive and appealing to us all. If you think of it, there aren’t a ton of non-vegetarian protein options. You have pork, beef poultry and seafood. Perhaps the greater variety falls in seafood. Therefore, cooking them with nontraditional sides makes them yummier! Approximate Prep and Cooking Time: 45 minutes to 1 hour Approximate Cost: $23.60 or $11.80 per serving Difficulty Level: ____ Easy __X__ Intermediate ____ Advanced Servings: 2 Ingredients for the fillets ($18.70) 2 fillet mignon cuts price (@$8.45 ea.= ($16.90) Salt and pepper to taste (.15) 1 tbsp. Angie’s basting olive oil (.40) 1 avocado ($1.25) Ingredients for the Roasted Purple Potatoes and Garlic ($2.75) 2 c. purple baby potatoes, slice diagonally in half ($1.50) 10 large garlic cloves, whole (.30) 2 tbsp. Angie’s basting olive oil (.80) 1 tsp. lemon pepper (.15) Ingredients for the Purple Slaw ($2.15) 2 cups of purple cabbage, shredded (.50) 2 tomatoes, cubed (.50) ½ small purple onion, chopped (.25) 1 tsp. Angie’s basting olive oil (.40) 1 ½ tbsp. Tzatziki Sauce (or Mayo if you have it) (.35) ½ tsp. lemon pepper (.15) Directions Season the fillets and refrigerate. Clean the potatoes, slice them diagonally, add them to a baking pan, add the garlic cloves and season with basting olive oil and lemon pepper. Stir to coat evenly with oil. Bake at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes, until they become tender and crunchy. In a nonreactive bowl, add the shredded red cabbage. Chop the red onion, clean and cube the tomatoes and add to the bowl. Season with basting olive oil, Tzatziki Sauce (or Mayo if you have it), lemon pepper and refrigerate until serving. By now if the potatoes are roasted and the slaw is ready you can start searing your fillets until golden brown and medium rare or medium well inside. Enjoy!
