I was so thrilled to find a couple in this eCookbook that are mayo free!! I will make the Mexican Chicken Salad this week and I also want to try the Cheing Mai Chicken Salad but I will need a few ingredients first.
I think you guys will like this one…and hey it is FREE Head over HERE to check it out!

Laurie over at Passionate Penny Pincher has her recipes ready for the week. You guys know my husband is a big casserole fan so I am going to definitely try out the Broccoli Chicken Divan. I have really struggled with lunches this week so I might try my hand at a modified version of the Corn Dog Muffins to pop in the freezer as I am in a bad rut (just so tired of sandwiches!!)
Also I posted the Earth Fare 10 ears of corn for $1 coupon over on I Heart Saving Money…but Laurie let me know her store will accept Earth Fare as a competitor. Let me know if your store accepts them and I will start adding the Earth Fare coupons to the weekly store coupon post!

Southwest Chicken Salad
Easy Baked Ravioli
Recipe: Taco Casserole
July 12, 2010
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine.
All of you guys who have been visiting me for a while probably know that I am a HUGE fan of Mexican food. I am always looking for new recipes as an excuse to make more Mexican food. When the folks at Mission Foods asked me to come up with a recipe using their tortillas I was more than happy to add one of my favorite recipes to our weekly menu
My husband is a huge casserole fan so I chose to go with a quick and easy dish that is a favorite here at my house: Taco Casserole
Unless I am baking I rarely follow a recipe. I am notorious for starting with a recipe then adding my own ingredients to make it mine. I think this one may be a couple of different recipes rolled into one–what is great is that you can modify it as you like.
Taco Casserole
Ingredients
1 pound of ground beef or turkey
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 can of crushed or diced tomatoes
1 onion chopped
1/2 bell pepper chopped
1 can cream of chicken soup
handful of chopped cilantro
1/2 cup of mexicorn
1/2 cup of black beans
1 cup of pepper jack cheese (shredded)
8 Mission Tortillas (torn into bite sized pieces)
Directions
Cook meat with onions and bell pepper until meat is browned
Drain off fat
Add taco seasoning, tomatoes, soup, corn, beans, cilantro
Cook for 3 – 5 minutes until heated through
In a casserole dish layer Meat Mixture then Mission Tortillas then Cheese–repeat and finsh with cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until cheese is bubbly!
Serve with sour cream and guacamole –YUMMY!!
This is a great dish–easy and very delicious!! You will not have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen and I find it is even better the next day as leftovers for lunch The great thing about this recipe is that you will probably have most of the ingredients on hand. I love using Mission Tortillas–they have a great fresh baked taste and are super convenient. Often I use them in place of bread for sandwiches and wraps. The best part is that Mission Flour Tortillas contain 0 grams Trans fat per serving and are cholesterol free! I keep several packs in my freezer for a quick and easy meal!
If you have a great recipe that includes Mission Tortillas and will feed a family of five for $10 or less you might be a big winner!! Just submit your recipe to the Mission Menus Challenge and you could win a $10,000 Kitchen Appliance Makeover!! You can also enter to win their weekly sweepstakes! When you submit your recipe be sure and check out Mission Foods commitment to Share Our Strength and their effort to end childhood hunger in America.
I’d love to get an email from one of you letting me know you were the grand prize winner!! After reading all your great chicken recipes I am betting it is a definitely possibility!! What is your favorite use for Mission Tortillas?
