I have been making this recipe for about 6 years now and everyones eyes still light up when I tell them it is coming out. It is something that I do for special occasions because of the length of time that it takes to make. Not so much in the active cooking, but the fact that you work on it for about 30-45 minutes and then you wait 4 hours while it is marinating. This may not seem like such a big deal until you’ve had it and can’t wait for it to come out again.
This was a classic in our house when I was growing up thanks to Joan, a friend of the family and excellent cook. Now , after asking my mother (who would call Joan) for the recipe I don’t know how many times, I have added it here so I can keep track of it and share it.
This is an easy to make, inexpensive dish that tastes great! It is even a great foundation receipe for change. Maybe add a little extra spice by adding more green chilies, or get really crazy and try different seasoning all together to make something completely new.
Be sure to try it out and let me know how you like it or what you have done to improve on it.

That’s right. Mikayla is now footloose and fancy free and running all over the place.
After an exciting 365 days with Mikayla, she has now survived 1 year of Jen and I’s parenting. I think she made it okay. However, I am going to wait to pronounce the final verdict for a while. Maybe 17 more years.
Her birthday was spent with her cousins Ashanti and Lilliana and her Aunt Stacie. A good time was had by all. Be sure to check out her birthday pictures in the gallery!!
Mikayla, thanks to her Uncle Eric, is now the youngest member of the UNL Yell Squad. I mean…she has the uniform and she is good at yelling…so why not.Go Huskers!!
