Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x11x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2
Pour chicken broth into a small frying pan and bring to a simmer. Add chicken, cover, and simmer until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the pan and let cool.

In the same frying pan, add onion and red pepper. Sauté over medium heat until soft, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

4
Shred cooled chicken and place into a large bowl. Add onion mixture, black beans, corn, cilantro, and chiles. Stir in 2 cups Cheddar and sour cream until thoroughly blended. Add Tabasco, salt, and pepper.

5
Place 1/8 of the mixture into center of each tortilla. Roll tortillas and place into the prepared baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce over top and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar.

Braised Short Ribs
These sherry braised short ribs are pretty much foolproof. As long as two things happen when you make this recipe, you are in for some very fine eats. First, the beef must be well browned— I'm talking deep, dark, crusty, and caramelized. The other key step is easier. Just braise them until they're fork-tender. To paraphrase an expression, "stick a fork in them, they're done." After browning properly, the only way to mess these up is to undercook them, so don't.
Gluten-Free Crescent Rolls
This gluten-free crescent roll recipe is adapted fromButter Crescentson Allrecipes. The changes are mainly in the method. The outcome is a pliable, stretchy dough that bakes into a soft, creamy roll. These are delicious on their own or can be used in your favorite recipes for pigs-in-a-blanket or turnovers.
