Leftover Jalapeno Popper Dip

http://www.bigredkitchen.com/2008/10/jalapeo-popper-dip.html

Made this dip for New Year's Eve and it was a really good replacement for Buffalo Chicken Dip and for me who gets heartburn easily I didn't feel it was a heartburn inducing.  You can control how hot this dip gets by what jalapenos and green chilies you buy.  I was a little worried about the mayo separating, but even with keeping it on a warming plate for most of the night and reheating in the microwave since I haven't had a problem yet.  

Today I used some of the leftover dip to make Jacket Potato's for lunch and it was yummy.  Jacket potatoes are red potatoes that have been cooked, cut an x shaped in the potato but not all the way down and filling the v with a mixture of sour cream, spices, and Cheddar cheese.  I used my microwave potato pocket from Hawaii (I think you can get them at most craft shows no days) and microwaved 4 potatoes for 3 minutes.  Then cut the V and filled with the popper dip!  It was delicious and cut down on a little of the spice.

Take Two: Avocado Chicken Salad

The first time I made this I used canned Chicken and it was awful.  Today I made it with fresh chicken and it was wonderful.  I could eat this everyday!  I do LOVE avocado!  I'm beginning to think that this is going to be the year of cilantro and green onions.  I keep finding myself pulling out the food processor to chop the two ingredients.  

Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos

This was very good, stayed nice and moist when it was finished .  I have to say I didn't really follow the recipe I just used the mere suggestion of it after reading it.  I had some leftover homemade salsa from last week.  Since the majority of the ingredients in the chicken recipe were already in the salsa I just added the taco seasoning packet and a little bit more cilantro and lime since I had already used quit a bit in the original salsa recipe.  When done we heated up some corn tortillas (wrap in wet paper towel and heat in the micro for 45 seconds per 4 tortillas), added some Mexican cheddar cheese, a little lettuce, and some sour cream, the chicken and chowed down. Used 6 chicken breasts and still had plenty of leftovers, which is not usually the case in our house after eating dinner and boxing up two lunches for the next day.
