Latinas, what is a meal that I could make in about an hour? I know how to make rice but that's about it.?

Question

I'm a good cook otherwise, I'm just not used to making Spanish food, so if you give a recipe please be specific. Thanks!

I really appreciate everyone's ideas, they're really good and I'm going to try them this week. Thanks again!

Answer 1

MEXICAN CASSEROLE

1 16 oz container sour cream
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
2 eggs
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 large onion, chopped
1 small can olives, chopped
1 small can chopped green chiles
1 cup cooked chicken, tuna, or turkey, chopped
1 8 oz pkg Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese, shredded


Mix together sour cream, cream cheese, eggs, cream of chicken soup, chopped onion, olives (optional), green chillies, chicken, tuna or turkey (add more than called for if desired).
Spread mixture evenly in a 9x13 pan glass or earthenware casserole dish.

Top with shredded cheese.

Cover and bake 1 hour 350 degrees. Can be frozen and cooked later or cooked and reheated.

A metal 9x13 pan takes longer to cook than a glass one, so bake it slightly longer if you use a metal pan.

Mixture should be set well when removed from oven

Answer 2

I don't know how fancy you want to make it. How about burritos?

Get some spanish rice, beans if you like them, meat (chicken or steak), whatever other filling (roasted red peppers, etc), and some spicy mayo. Also get some tortillas and shredded cheese.

You'll set up three stations. One to steam the tortilla, one to cook the meat, one to cook the rice.

Start the rice - it takes the longest (25 mins). Slice up the meat and grill or cook it in a pan with spice if you want - sazon or just oil, salt, pepper.

The third pot will have some water with a colander (strainer) or some kind of steamer thing on it.

When the rice is cooked, the meat is cooked, and the other stuff you want to add in is ready, steam up a tortilla for about 30 to 60 seconds.

Remove it and lay down some shredded cheese, rice, meat, spiced mayo, and other additions. Fold it over - the steamed tortilla (if still hot) will stick to itself. Et voila - a burrito. Repeat for other people.

Put whatever you want into the burrito as long as you can still fold it up.

Enjoy!

Then add the tequila and burn off the alcohol. Add the tomatoes and saute for another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lime juice when the shrimp is cooked half way. When shrimp is fully cooked, fold in the cilantro and avocado. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

OMG, I made chicken w/ roasted chiles (the kind you make chile rellenos with) and onions w/ sour cream last night and it was sooo good! I seasoned the chicken w/ taco seasoning & garlic salt, oh, and cayenne pepper, then cooked the chicken first (breast, cut in strips), then added the onions & chiles (gutted & destemmed), and lastly the sour cream! Delicioso!
