Chimichangas

Original recipe from here.

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 3/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 large diced bell pepper
• 1 can whole kernel corn
• 1 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 cups taco sauce
• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
• 8 (12 inch) flour tortillas
• Shredded cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted, or cooking spray

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Brown the ground meat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease, and add the onion, bell pepper, corn and spices. Cook for about 5 more minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir in the taco sauce. Cook until heated through, then remove from heat, and set aside.
3. Open the can of beans, and spread a thin layer of beans onto each of the tortillas. Spoon the beef mixture (less than you think) down the center, and then top with as much shredded cheese as you like. Roll up the tortillas, and place them seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Brush the tortillas with melted butter.
4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Cilantro Ranch Dressing

1 packet Ranch mix (not buttermilk)
1 c. mayonnaise
1 c. buttermilk
2 tomatillos, remove husk, diced
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic
juice of 1 lime
1 jalapeno

Mix all ingredients together in the blender.

Sweet Pork

2 pounds pork
3 cans Coke (NOT diet)
1/4 c. brown sugar
dash garlic salt
1/4 c. water
1 can diced green chilies
3/4 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce
1 c. brown sugar

Put the pork in a heavy duty Ziploc bag to marinade. Add about a can and a half of coke and about 1/4 c. of brown sugar. Marinade for a few hours or overnight.

Drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can of coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours (or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get TOO dry). Remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. Shred pork.

In a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar (about a cup, you can add a little more or less to taste..). If it looks too thick, add more Coke little by little.

Put shredded pork and sauce in crock pot and cook on low for 2 hours. That's it!
