Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - boiled and shredded
1/2 cup chopped onion

1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups cottage cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

I think it's going to be a pork and veggies night for me. Might try that potato kale gratin again.

[Norah]

I had bought some pork chops last week but came home to dinner already made. Took them out of the freezer to make tonight.

How was the gumbo? Hopefully it turned out good

Gumbo is basically jambalaya in the form of soup. And I love jambalaya, but gumbo was so-so. But it sure was filling.

One more month and it will be gumbo season for me.

You have gumbo season?

[washing machine]

I've always eaten lots of gumbo in February. It's comfort food for really cold weather and late January/early February is about the only time in Texas where you can count on it being cold. Also something about Mardi Gras season gets me going.
