I confess, I am not a big football fan, but my husband is, and I know a lot of people enjoy getting together to watch the big game. Here’s a couple of recipes for game day get togethers.

Chicken fajitas

Cut into strips, 1 pound boneless chicken breast
1 T cornstarch
2 T lemon juice
1 t garlic powder
1 t seasoned salt
1/2 t pepper
1/2 t oregano
1/8 t liquid smoke flavoring
2 T oil
1 c green bell pepper strips
1 c onion wedges thinly sliced
1/2 c salsa
warmed flour tortillas
sour cream

In a medium bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. cover and refrigerate 2-8 hours to marinate. Discard the marinade. In a skillet, heat oil until very hot. Saute chicken until just cooked. Add green peper and onion; cooking until crisp tender. Add tomato and salsa; simmer one minute longer. Serve immediately in tortillas, top with additional salsa and sour cream. You can also substitute on pound of beef steak, cut across grain in 1/4 inch strips, or raw shrimp, peeled and deveined.

Tortilla Black Bean Casserole
2 c. chopped onion
1-1/2 c green pepper, chopped
14-1/2 can tomatoes chopped
3/4 cup picante sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 t. ground cumin
15 oz can black beans, or red kidney beans drained
12 6-inch corn tortillas
2 c fat-free Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

In a large skillet, combine onion, green pepper, undrained tomatoes, picante sauce, garlic and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Stir in beans. Spread one-third of the bean mixture over bottom of a 13×9 pan. Top with half of the tortillas, overlapping as necessary, and half of cheese. Add another third of the bean mixture, then remaining tortillas and bean mixture. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Let stand for 10 minutes. Cut in squares to serve. Makes 10-12 side servings or 6-8 main dish servings.

These receipes came from the Gooseberry Patch Holidays at Home Book. I have most of their books and they have great decorating ideas as well as recipes.
