My husband and I use this a lot in our cooking. We like to use it when we make a mock Cafe Rio salad, burritos, etc. It's also good in enchiladas, just a great standard. It's got a really strong sweet flavor, so it's not really kid-friendly.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
1/4 cup honey
just under 1/4 cup lime juice
1 TB chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 Gallon-sized plastic bag
1. Mix honey, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic salt (I usually mix them in my liquid measuring cup).
2. Put shredded chicken in plastic bag.
3. Add marinade to plastic bag with the chicken.
4. Put in fridge and let marinade for at least half an hour (1 day is better).
5. When you're ready to eat it (if you're having it in a salad or burrito...anything you don't bake, don't do this for enchiladas), put it on a greased skillet and heat it up, you can even make it crispy if you want.
6. Decide how you want it and ENJOY!

Yummy Mexican Shepherd's Pie
This is super easy, and my husband and I will usually eat the whole thing because it's so yummy!

1 Cup salsa
1/2 cup sour cream
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
1. Brown the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper, then drain.

Yummy Creole Chicken and Rice
2-4 chicken breasts (depending on the size and how many people you're feeding)
1 Can Cream of Chicken soup
1 Cup sour cream
Creole seasoning (I do it to taste, it's spicy, so it could be a lot or not a ton)
2 Cups homemade rice, buttered
You can do this in layers, or as a casserole, it depends on how you like it. You can adjust the recipe for more people who are eating it.
As a casserole:
1. Preheat oven to 375 Degrees F
2. Pre-make all ingredients
3. Mix the chicken into the sauce
4. Layer the bottom of an 8X13 pan with rice
5. Pour sauce on top
6. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until bubbling.
Layered:
1. Pre-make all ingredients
2. Put rice on the bottom of plate
3. Put sauce over the rice and enjoy.
Chicken:
1. Boil chicken breasts (or bake, or however you like to cook it, it's all subjective) until cooked through.
2. Either chop or shred chicken (if you have a KitchenAid mixer, you can shred it in the mixer using your paddle function). Sprinkle creole seasoning on it so it's sprinkled red. You might want to taste it, you can use the seasoning as salt, but it's a little spicy (knock on wood, it's Creole!).
Sauce:
1. Mix cream of chicken soup and sour cream in a saucepan, DO NOT BOIL, heat thoroughly and season with creole to taste.
2. Add chicken to sauce
Rice:
1. Also season with creole to taste (pattern, yes:?)
