Just want to say “HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAX and JEM!!” Sunday is my twinling sons’ 13th Birthday!!!!! I'm now a Mom of teenagers. gah! Jax and Jem, I love you guys. You are the best sons a Mom could ever have!
I missed my first Sunday Stills in a year, last Sunday due to a very busy weekend participating in a Trail Clinic on Saturday and a 2 1/2 hour trail ride on Sunday. I enjoyed every minute, but I was too exhausted each evening to do anything but upload the photos from each day into my blog. I missed seeing what everyone came up with for textures. The world is full of textures and they are especially interesting to see in macro. Which sadly I skipped out on Macro Monday last week, too. Sorry everyone. I hope I was missed just a little?
Seeing as how I live in New Mexico, I knew I could come up with something to fit into this week’s challenge and I knew it would have to showcase our state’s favorite food: Green Chile! An authentic New Mexican meal wouldn’t be complete without green chile.
The following dish is just something I throw together sometimes. I call it ‘Layered Enchiladas’. It can be made with just about anything you have in your house. You can use chicken, pork or turkey. You can add onions, tomatoes, cilantro, cheese, whatever floats your boat.
This is the way I made Layered Enchiladas with what I had around the house this weekend.
1. Fry white corn tortillas in oil, until crisp.
2.Let them drain on some paper towels. Add a little salt if desired. I always fry extra because they are basically just delicious tortilla chips, and can be eaten as a tasty snack.
3.Heat a can of refried beans (I add onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and red chile powder for flavor). Spread over corn tortillas.
4.Brown ground beef. Season with onion powder, salt and pepper, if desired.
5.Spoon over refried beans and corn tortillas.
6.Gather up some farm fresh eggs. These were laid by my chickens the day before. (Notice those two extra-large eggs at the top of the plate? They hold a surprise inside).
7.See?! Twin Eggs with Twin Yolks! Perfect surprise for my twin sons’ birthdays, wouldn’t you say?!
8.Cook the eggs, but let them stay runny. Drippy eggs add the perfect creamy rich texture.
9.Heat a can of Green Chile Enchilada Sauce and pour over the ground beef, refried beans and corn tortillas. (Add shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and sour cream if desired)
10.Place Drippy Eggs on the very top. Enjoy!

p.s. HAPPY B-DAY TO THE BOYS!!..
looks like quite a meal!
nice photos
Happy birthday to your boys! Two twin eggs must be an auspicious sign of good things to come. Looks delicious.
That looks really good, people here in Florida don't understand the green chili, red chile thing. I love green chili too especially on fresh eggs. I will be trying this soon. Teenagers then out into the world, it goes by way too fast!
Enjoy the moments.
I'll be right over!
I was also absent from Macro Monday and so far, don't have anything today.
Guess I am slacking off. After chores I will think of something.
It was great to see you riding again.
Now, you've done it! I must go eat.
Happy Birthday, twinlings!
Happy Birthday to Jem and Jax!!! You have the best mom in the whole wide world! God thinks you're pretty special - that's why He picked mom and dad to be your paents!! Have a great day!
Love those drippy eggs. Makes me hungry? Mind if I just pull me up a chair?
I make up stuff like this reciepe. I'm going to try your version SOON!!
Happy Sunday to all of you
Yum! I'm going to try that one. Those made me hungry.hehehehe.
I'm sure we will forgive you for missing your days of photos because you had the cance to have fun with horses. Nothing trumps having fun with horses. hehehe
looks great, the runny eggs make it
Happy Birthday to the twins...it is also my daughters 21st birthday....great days!!!
Happy Birthday twinlings. Looks great, Lisa. You can't go wrong with green chile in anything.

Happy Birthday to Jax and Jem!! My gosh, how you're growing!!
I usually just layer my enchiladas in a 9 x 13 pan like lasagne without even precooking the tortillas. However I add lots of cheese to the meat, beans, and green or red chili sauce. Then I bake it an hour and cut into squares to eat. Fry an egg and throw it on top for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Yummy! Sounds good on a snowy day like today.
Happy Birthday to the twins!!!
Yum! Not Weight Watcher friendly, but sure looks GOOD. :)
mmm this looks so good. My mom makes a secret family recipe of taco's. Tortilla shells and all. She made them last weekend and my best friend came over and my boyfriend who has never had them. When she makes them it's a whole family ordeal theres a minimum of 5 guests here when they hear shes making tacos.
I HAVE to have some of that!!! Yummy Liss!
We did miss you...but we knew where and what you were doing!
HAPPY Birthday boys! Too funny about them double yolks..I too had that happen, yesterday.
Have a wonderful celebration!

First off - HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAX & JEM!
Now after looking at your photos, I am starving. Looks soooo good!
PS - nothing like fresh eggs.
Yep, I'm drooling. Thanks for posting this recipe. I am amazed to say this, but I have all the ingredients except the sauce (the most important thing). Mmm!
oh yum, lucky me, I'm going into town tomorrow so I can get the ingredients. Making that Tuesday! thanks for sharing!

That looks delicious, but since I'm probably the only native born New Mexican to be allergic to Chili and all peppers, I'd have to pass on eating it.
Happy Birthday to your new teenagers!!! What a fun time, I love mine LOL!! Good thing I'm already eating or I might be trying to cook me some enchilada's!!
Of course you were missed last week! Love this post - two for the price of one! Great shots, plus a super tasty recipe. Thanks!
teenagers! have fun! unique enchiladas!

That looks absolutely delicious! We love those fresh double-yolk eggs too! :)
Thanks for your comment on our blog. I am still what I'd call and "adventurous beginner" rider (bad experience with my first horse when I bought her drugged) - so I'm learning what to do when the unexpected happens.
I think this was her first time ever in a bosal and she seemed a bit less responsive. However - I'm not sure how I could have done a one-rein stop while on her sideways (I'm about to stop riding with stirrups).
Any suggestions to help me with a quicker response if there's a next time? This whole situation has been such a learning experience!
Happy Birthday, J & J!
I was telling my Mom about you and I guessed that the boys were 14. I was close...Happy belated birthday to Jax and Jem!
