Easy Enchiladas

Here’s a recipe that I came up with after looking a couple of cookbooks because I had some leftover pork loin. Chicken or turkey would work just as well.

Hardware

large mixing bowl 10" (25 cm) skillet plate paper towels 9"x13" (23cm x 33cm) baking dish

Software

16 oz. (4 cups by volume) shredded colby-jack cheese, divided 2 cups chopped cooked pork loin (or chicken) 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream 1 cup (8 ounces) plain yoghurt (or Greek yoghurt) 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted 1 can Rotel tomatoes 1/4 cup canned jalapeno slices, diced 2 tablespoons chopped onion 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup salsa verde, optional 10 - 10 inch (25 cm) flour tortillas canola oil

Algorithm:

1. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of the cheese, and the next 9 ingredients. Mix well.
2. Heat about 2 Tbsp canola oil in a skillet. Fry tortillas one at a time, about 5 seconds per side, and place on a paper towel covered dinner plate. Add additional oil to skillet as needed.
3. Spoon a level 3/4 cup of the pork mixture off center on each tortilla; roll up and place seam side down in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Cover top with the salsa verde if desired.
4. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer.

Yield: 5 servings

Serve with sour cream, and/or picante sauce, and/or pico de gallo.

This Day in History… Republicans Pass Anti-KKK Act – Outlawing Democratic Terrorist Groups

On April 20, 1871, at the urging of President Ulysses Grant, Congress passed the Ku Klux Klan Act. Also known as the third Enforcement Act, the bill was a controversial expansion of federal authority designed to give the federal government additional power to protect voters. The act established penalties in the form of fines and jail time for attempts to deprive citizens of equal protection under the laws and gave the President the authority to use federal troops and suspend the writ of habeas corpus in ensuring that civil rights were upheld.

Founded as a fraternal organization by Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan soon became a paramilitary group devoted to the overthrow of Republican governments in the South and the reassertion of white supremacy. Through murder, kidnapping, and violent intimidation, Klansmen sought to secure Democratic victories in elections by attacking black voters and, less frequently, white Republican leaders.
