When’s the last time you ate chicken Alfredo?

If you like it hot, these Chicken and Chorizo Enchiladas are for you! Spicy, delicious, and smothered with the creamiest Chipotle Crema Sauce. They will knock your socks off! It’s Hispanic Heritage Month! Despite popular assumption, we Brazilians do not identify as Hispanic, as we were colonized by Portugal and not Spain.

FavoritePinShare Rating: 3 stars (only because of oven issues) Difficulty of Recipe: 2 stars Review: I doubled the recipe because I wanted to make a 9×13.

Goulash has so many variations that the lines that distinguish one kind from another are often blurred. American goulash is heavy on tomatoes and often uses ground beef. German goulash, on the other hand, is predominantly all about big chunks of meat, cut about 1 ½ inches big, and uses just a little bit of tomatoes in the form of tomato paste. A typical German goulash uses roughly a one to one ratio of beef and chopped onions....

I recently added a recipe for Air Fryer Roasted Almonds to the blog that people went nuts for (pun intended). Since not everyone has an air fryer, I thought I’d better hurry up and add an oven roasted almonds recipe on here too.
