Spicy Enchiladas

Mexican food is hands down one of my favorite things to eat. I often find myself whipping up fajitas but last night I decided to go the enchiladas route. Gooey cheese with spicy enchiladas sauce paired with creamy avocados…gets my mouth watering just thinking about it. Note: If you don’t like it too spicy, just leave out the cayenne pepper.

Spicy Enchiladas

• 1 lb chicken
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can enchilada sauce
• 1/2 cup chopped scallions
• flour tortillas
• 2 Tb chili powder
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• sour cream
• lime
• avocado
• oil

Heat oil in a pan on a medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through. Remove and place on a cutting board and shred. Place in a bowl and add 2 Tb sour cream, 1 Tb enchiladas sauce, and 1/4 cup chopped scallions. In a pot, add the remaining enchilada sauce with chili powder, cayenne pepper, 1/4 cup chopped scallions, and 2 Tb sour cream. Simmer for 2 mins to combine flavors. In a baking dish, coat the bottom with a little enchilada sauce. Place chicken filling inside a flour tortilla and roll up. Place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat until filled. Pour over the remaining enchilada sauce and top with cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 for 10-15 mins. Serve with lime wedges and sliced avocado.

Use local and/or organic ingreds if available.

Hungarian Goulash

So, here at Get Fork'd we're going to start making video recipes once a week. Bear with us for the time being...I promise they'll get better. I went to Prime Meats in Brooklyn the other week and had their to-die-for goulash. Craving it again but not wanting the commute, I had to whip up my own. Plus, I just like saying goulash. GOULASH!




Hungarian Goulash

• 3 slices diced bacon
• 1 lb cubed pork roast
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cubed potato
• 1 sliced carrot
• 1/2 sliced onion
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 Tb Hungarian paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 2 Tb flour
• sour cream

In a large pot, cook bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the same pot, brown the pork roast on both sides. Remove and set aside. Again, in the same pot add garlic, onions, potatoes, and carrots – cook for a 5 mins. Add the paprika and toss. Add bacon and pork back into the pot with the veggies and toss in flour. Once combined, add in the beef broth so it just barely covers your goulash. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Toss in salt and pepper at the end and serve topped with a spoonful of sour cream.

Use local and/or organic ingreds if available.

Naked Chicken Parm

I die for this bread crumb-free version of chicken parm. Instead of coating in breading, you dip in parm. Who wouldn’t fall for this cheese-lover’s version?! Plus, rather than drench in sauce, it’s served with my fave, roasted tomatoes, and over a bed of pesto. The freshness from the pesto balances out some of the richness from all that yummy, gooey cheese. Plus, the colors are the same as the Italian flag...too cute!

Naked Chicken Parm

• 1 lb chicken breasts
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 pint grape tomatoes
• 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 ball fresh mozzarella thinly sliced
• pesto

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Combine salt, oil, garlic, oregano, and red pepper in large bowl. Place tomatoes in the bowl and toss. Spread out on a baking sheet. Add chicken to large bowl with remaining garlic oil and turn to coat. Place 1 cup Parmesan in dish. Dip only 1 side of each chicken piece into cheese to coat. Place cheese side up on a baking sheet. Bake about 10 mins until cooked through. Top with mozzarella slices and return to oven for 1 to 2 mins.
