Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 8

TOPPINGS:
6 (6-inch) soft flour tortillas
1 (15-ounce) can Wolf brand chili with no beans
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (8-ounce) block medium cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup finely diced onion
Sour cream, hot taco sauce, chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly spray an 8 x 8" baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the chili, a little salt and black pepper, and the cumin. Spread a thin layer of the chili mixture in the bottom of the baking dish, just enough to cover. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese for the top. Fill the tortillas with remaining cheese and onion then roll up and place seam side down on top of the chili in the baking dish, placing them close together. When all the tortillas are in the pan, spoon the remaining chili over the top of tortillas, then top with the reserved cheese. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Serve immediately with toppings of choice and whatever sides you want. (I added a thin layer of refried beans to a couple of the tortillas along with the cheese and onion.)

Categories     Appetizers

Time 8h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 lb cooked lean ground beef, or turkey
1 cup yellow onion, diced
2 cans diced tomato, with green chiles
1 can kidney bean, drained and rinsed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ cup water
½ cup distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cloves garlic
2 strips lime zest
6 jalapeñoes, sliced into 1/2 in (1 1/4 cm) round
1 bag frozen french fries, preferably crinkle cut
1 cup shredded mexican cheese blend
½ cup sour cream
4 scallions, thinly sliced
slow cooker

Steps:

  • Make the chili: In a slow cooker, combine the ground beef, onion, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cover and cook on low, stirring often, for about 6 hours, or until the onions are tender.
  • While the chili cooks, make the quick pickled jalapeños: In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, salt, sugar, garlic, and lime zest. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the salt and sugar have dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the jalapeños to a medium heatproof bowl or large mason jar. Carefully pour the pickling liquid over the jalapeños, making sure they are fully submerged. Let the pickles cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the jar and transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use. The pickled jalapeños will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Make the chili cheese fries: Preheat the oven according to the French fry package instructions.
  • Spread the French fries in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 3 minutes less than the package instructs.
  • Remove the fries from the oven and top with several large scoops of chili. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely.
  • Dollop the sour cream on top of the chili cheese fries, then garnish with the scallions and pickled jalapeños. Let cool slightly, then serve directly off of the pan.
  • Enjoy!

BEEF AND BEER CHILI, EASY CROCKPOT RECIPE



Beef and Beer Chili, Easy Crockpot Recipe image

Recipe from the WebMD Weight Loss Clinic. They say "chili is one of America's favorite lunch or dinner entrees -- especially during the winter months. Served with cornbread, it really hits the spot. I happen to be a "hot" spice lightweight, so you'll need to add extra chili powder, cayenne pepper, or jalapeño if you want a hotter chili." I haven't made this but I want it in my cookbook so I'm posting it to share.
