Instant Pot Tamale Bites

December 2, 2020 Amanda Plott

Ever wanted to make tamales but just weren’t completely sure how? These chicken Instant Pot Tamale Bites are not only easy to make, they are delicious and take hardly any time at all. To make these tamale bites, you do need a silicone egg bite mold, but you don’t need any corn husks at all!

You simple spread the masa dough into the silicone mole, fill, top, and cook in the pressure cooker. Yep! That’s all there is to them. I used chicken in these tamales, but you could really use any sort of shredded meat or vegetarian filling that you desire…

October 1, 2020 Amanda Plott

As the weather is cooling off, I’m starting to migrate to a lot more soups and stews. This 'Creamy' Chicken Enchilada Soup is a new family favorite. It’s easy to make and takes no time at all in the handy-dandy instant pot. It’s perfect for a Tex-Mex inspired dinner option. Especially on these busy weekday nights!

Not only is it super delicious - think cream chicken enchiladas in the form of a soup, but it’s also gluten free and low carb too. Plus, I love that I have complete control over how spicy or how not spicy this soup is. You’ll be hard pressed to find a soup that is this creamy without having any gluten in it…

Duo Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas

September 19, 2020 Amanda Plott

Generally when I make enchiladas, I make them naked. Whether stuffed into a zucchini or wrapped in greens of some sort. This time around I decided to go with the real deal. These Duo Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas are made with not one sauce, but two! Giving you a variety of flavors all in one enchilada.

Green sauce down one side, red sauce down the other, and all of them being loaded with chicken and pepper jack cheese. They are super quick and easy to make and are one of my favorite Tex-mex dinners for busy weeknights!…

Crispy Baked Chicken Taquitos

I love taquitos. You know the ones. The ones in the freezer section that you bake at home and end up with a plate of several perfectly rolled crisp taquitos loaded with beef, chicken, or beans and cheese. My problem though has always been that they were almost impossible for me to get right at home. That is until now.

Did you know that there is a trick to making them? My problem in the past has always been that the tortillas split and crack down the sides while baking. And let’s face it, there isn’t much worse than a cracked taquito! Well, I’m happy to say that I’ve learned the trick and will share it with you…

Taco Pie (Crustless Quiche)

May 22, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’m not unfamiliar with a crustless quiche. Quiche is one of my most favorite breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner meals! I guess that’s one reason why I love quiche; It’s a meal appropriate at any time of day. Another thing I like about it? It’s a great way to use up leftovers!

This Taco Pie is made with just 7 ingredients and a few minutes of hands on time. The oven does most of the work for you. It’s keto friendly, low carb, and gluten free too. Plus, it’s another excuse to enjoy a taco. How can you say no to that?…
