Con Carne, hold the Carne
I hung out at my friend's house last nite. We were drinking some beers and cooking dinner. We tried to follow her mom's recipe for Enchiladas, but she being a white girl from Portland and me growing up on enchiladas from scratch...it turned into something entirely different. I was responsible for the "filler". While cooking the chicken, I started doctoring it up with spices, more cheese, and chilis. She was responsible for the sauce, which was a bean based sauce with no meat, so it somewhat resembled chili - hence the con carne, hold the carne. I was drinking beers through the cooking and eventually took over the shenanigans. When it came time to fill and roll the tortillas, I discovered they were burrito sized; resulting in what looked like large chicken burritos with too much leftover tortilla. I asked my friend for the sauce, thinking it would be just generic canned enchilada sauce; however I came to find that we would be covering our enchilada/burritos in the sauce resembling chili con carne. Through the whole cooking process, her dog Bowie seemed to be confused by all the action in the kitchen - I'm guessing my friend doesn't cook much. All in all, it was a great meal despite the hodge podge assembly. Heavy, but great. Chicken Burrito Chili Con Carne Hold the Carne Enchiladas were a hit! Bowie even did tricks for them... Next time I'm cooking...
