Pan Tacos

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, thanks for keeping us going Patrice.
Everything that I make is super easy and this is another one of those.

1 lb Hamburger
1 Jar Salsa
Chopped Olives
Grated Cheese
1/2 Onion
1 Large Can Chili Beans
Tortillas (Ripped into Pieces)

Brown Hamburger and Onion. Add salsa & Chili beans. Add sauce to bottom of baking pan. Then Layer tortillas - sauce - olives - cheese (end with cheese)
You can either simmer on the stove (until cheese is melted) or bake in oven @ 350 for 20 min.

Sorry no pictures. I haven't been in the mode these days.

Crepes

I know Crepes are so basic, but I found an AMAZING recipe and I just have to share it with everyone. So it's not as healthy as it could be, but they're so rich and yummy! I found it on Take Home Chef on TLC. --Patrice

1 cup all purpose flour, sifted
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter


Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and 1/2 cup of the milk and whisk to form a soft paste.

Combine the remaining milk and cream in a measuring cup and slowly add to the flour mixture, whisking to form a smooth thin batter. Strain the batter into a medium bowl to remove any lumps. Cover the batter and set aside for 30 minutes. This will allow time for the flour to absorb all of the liquid.
