Enchiladas For One

11/7/2025

0 Comments

 
These single serve enchiladas were born during my quest to clean out my freezer. I used some leftover carnitas pork roast from Aldi as my filling, but I think you could do this with really any kind of shredded meat for a different method of using up leftover. The Enchilada sauce is heavily based on the red enchilada sauce from the food blog gimmesomeoven with the ratios adjusted to my preference with spices I had available.
@eatingnormal These single serve enchiladas were born during my quest to clean out my freezer. I used some leftover carnitas pork roast from Aldi as my filling, but I think you could do this with really any kind of shredded meat for a different method of using up leftovers. The Enchilada sauce is heavily based on the red enchilada sauce from the food blog gimmesomeoven with the ratios adjusted to my preference with spices I had available. Ingredients: ¼ cup Chili Powder ¼ teaspoon Mexican Oregano ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon cumin 2 tablespoons flour 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 cups chicken stock ½ cup leftover shredded pork ¼ cup shredded cheese 2 yellow corn tortillas In a medium size sauce pan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. As the oil begins to ripple, whisk in the flour. Cook the roux for about two minutes before adding the spices. Whisk together until a crumbly sand forms. Cook for another minute to heat through. Slowly add chicken stock while whisking to break up the clumps. Once all stock is added, stir occasionally and simmer for another five minutes. Set aside. Heat your tortillas in a saute pan so that they’re more pliable for rolling. Mix your meat and cheese together in a separate bowl. When ready to make your enchiladas, dip your tortilla in the sauce. Lay on a flat surface and place half of your filling in the center. Roll, then lay them seam side down in your small baking dish. Top with additional enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake in an air fryer for about 8 minutes at 350 or until the cheese is bubbly and brown. Enjoy. #food #foodblogger #foodblog #cookingforone #freezercleanout #recipes #enchiladas ♬ original sound - Eating Normal

Chicken Noodle Soup

1/6/2025

0 Comments

 
With cold weather finally settling in up here in Northeast Wisconsin, it’s definitely soup season. What better way to contribute to our ongoing rotisserie chicken series than a classic chicken noodle soup. Rich, flavorful, and comforting, you can’t go wrong with this one on a cold winter’s night.

This recipe comes in for 0.72 per serving, which is half the price of a can of campbell’s chicken noodle soup. Talk about a bargain! By utilizing the bones from the rotisserie chicken to make ten cups of chicken broth with other ingredients in the recipe, you can save yourself a lot of money.  Freezing instructions are included in the recipe card to help you save some of this for those sick days where you need an easy, accessible option.

Chicken and Corn Chowder

10/13/2024

Picture
Meal two of our rotisserie chicken series is a tasty chicken and corn chowder in a smaller format to make sure someone that lives alone like myself can get through it before it goes bad in the freezer. It’s also a great way to use up any corn that you froze from the end of the season. I often keep my cobs of corn after stripping the kernels themselves in my freezer regardless of if I bought the ears at the market or at the grocery store for just this purpose. 

 Dairy can be frozen, but it doesn’t hold up to the process as well as some other soups. If you have leftovers from this meal, freeze them in a single layer and eat within one month.

For pricing purposes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and flour have been left out assuming that is on hand. That will of course increase the price of the recipe if you are buying them at the store in preparation.
