Pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons chopped scallions
2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
8-12 (6-inch) corn tortillas


Directions:
*Preheat oven to 425 and spray baking sheet with cooking spray
*In a large bowl, combine cream cheese with salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, onion powder, garlic, cilantro, scallions, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt.
*Fold in chicken and cheeses

Wrap each taquito in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and freeze. To bake, unwrap the taquitos and bake in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes (no need to thaw first).
These are perfect to make and freeze. Its an easy snack/meal for that man (or child) in your life. *wink wink*

Old Fashioned Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti

Ingredients:
5-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 1 whole chicken fryer
1 - 12 oz package spaghetti noodles
1 - 16 oz (1 lb) package Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 - 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
1 - 14 oz can chicken broth or 2 cups reserved broth
1 - stick margarine (1/2 Cup)
1 - 8oz package shredded mild or sharp cheddar cheese
1 - small onion, chopped
3-4 celery ribs, chopped
1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped

Directions:
*Fill a big stock pot with water.
*Clean and rinse whole fryer or chicken pieces.
*Add chicken, I like to add a little seasoning salt, pepper and poultry seasoning while the chicken cooks. Wash hands after handling chicken.
*Let chicken come to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer chicken until done.
*Cook whole fryers about 2 hours and chicken breasts or pieces 45-50 minutes.
*Remove chicken from pot and place on a plate to cool.
*Drain the broth through a strainer and reserve.
*Cook the spaghetti per package directions.
*Instead of cooking the spaghetti in water, we are going to use the reserved chicken broth. *Add spaghetti and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer noodles until al dente.
*While spaghetti noodles are cooking start deboning the chicken (make sure it is cool enough to handle) or break chicken breasts to smaller pieces.
*Chop up all the vegetables and set aside.
*Melt margarine in a small skillet and add the vegetables.
*Saute’ vegetables until they are tender and translucent in color.
*When noodles are done drain and set aside.
*If you are not using canned chicken broth, reserve 2 cups of the cooked broth.
*In a large bowl combine Velveeta cheese, chicken broth and cream of chicken soup.
*Place in microwave and cook on low for 5-7 minutes or until mixture is smooth and cheese is melted. (You can also use the defrost setting).
*To the cheese mixture add cooked vegetables with butter, spaghetti noodles and chicken pieces.
*Stir to combine.
*Spray a 9x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and add combined mixture.
*Top finished casserole with 8oz of shredded cheddar cheese.
*Place casserole in a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until cheese is golden brown and casserole is bubbly.
*Remove from oven let cool and serve.

Time saver note: If a 9 x 13 inch dish is to big for your family you can prepare (2) 8 x 8 inch size . Serve one for dinner and freeze the second one for a quick meal another night. To freeze assemble casserole, then cover unbaked casserole with plastic wrap, and two layers of foil. Date and place in freezer. To cook, remove casserole from the freezer. Defrost and proceed with baking instructions. Or For a large family just double the recipe ingredients and prepare two 9 x 13 inch baking dishes.
Note:  I found this on a random blog. For the record, I think Velveeta is disgusting. However, in this, it tastes very yummy!

Easy Vegetarian Tortilla Pie

Ingredients:
4 large flour tortillas
3 cups grated cheese, I recommend sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack

1 can beans, cooked (we used black beans)
2 cups spinach, chopped and coated lightly with salt and vinegar or a light Italian dressing
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, your choice, diced or chopped finely
Butter
Chiles, peppers, or pickled jalapenos, sliced
2 tablespoons chili powder
Chopped avocado
Chopped cilantro
Sour cream
Salsa

Directions:
*Preheat oven to 350°F.
*Butter the bottoms and sides of a baking dish, which optimally should be the same size as your tortillas. (In my case this wasn’t possible, so I just origami-style folded my tortillas to fit!)
*Butter and place one tortilla on the bottom of the pie dish, and sprinkle some cheese over it.
*Add a layer of each filling ingredient (cheese, rice, tomatoes, spinach, beans, onions and peppers) and continue buttering each tortilla and layering ingredients. You can go as high as you want, we stopped at four layers. (Don’t forget to season each layer with a bit of chili powder!)
*Top off your layers with one last flour tortilla.
*Spread a little butter over the surface of this tortilla.
*Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
*Bake in oven for 30 minutes at 350°F.
*Remove the foil and crank the temperature to 400°F.
*Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and cheese is bubbly.
*Remove from oven.
