Beef Enchiladas
Beef Enchiladas
1) Place a pkg of beef cut in strips for stir-fry in
preheated olive oil on high to quickly brown, stirring and mixing as it
cooks. Toss in one medium onion
cut in strips top to bottom. Toss
around. Add one pkg of Taco
seasoning and 1/4 cup of water.
Mix, cover, reduce heat to low and leave to simmer for about 30 minutes.
2) In small saucepan at one can of refried beans and one
medium/smallish diced green bell pepper, cover and leave on very low heat. Just to soften the beans and allow for
mixing of pepper cubes and beans.
3) Walk your dog in the park for 25 minutes.
4) Take a large flour (or corn) Tortilla and spread some of
the refried bean mixture in bottom, top with some of the beef mixture, and add
some canned tomatoes and zesty peppers (drained). Fold the sides of the tortilla into the center and place in
large baking dish. I used a Pyrex
pie dish. Use a little of the
refried bean mixture to seal the tortilla in place.
5) Repeat step four and cozy up the two tortillas.
6) Top the two folded and sealed tortillas with Enchilada
sauce (I use El Paso brand) and lots of cheese. I used colby jack and pepper jack.

Great Teaching
I watched the BEST lesson today in a fifth grade class on the Boston Massacre with a focus on point-of-view and bias, coupled with the reliability of primary documents versus secondary accounts. It may have been based on an incident from the late 1700's, but it couldn't have been more contemporary. The teacher was amazing (deserves the title beloved) and the students were so engaged and on top of the underlying concepts. I don't know what you did today, but I hope it was half as inspiring--cause then you had an awesome day, too!
World's Best Daddy, Indeed!!
From my first year of teaching in Costa Rica (1984) one of my classes and their "Father's Day" card to me. What plum silliness and joy! I was 23, these kids were 14. Daddy Indeed!
