Open Face Bbq Enchilada Cups Recipes

EDDIE JACKSON'S HOUSEMADE BBQ NUTS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the egg white in a bowl until foamy. Add the BBQ rub and syrup and mix until combined. Add the almonds and cashews to the bowl and mix.
• Spread the nut mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little sugar and cook on the middle rack until golden brown, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 to 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

ENCHILADA CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Microwave the stack of tortillas for 30 seconds, flipping halfway through. Tuck 1 tortilla into each cup of 2 standard 12-cup muffin pans, gently pleating the edges of the tortillas so that they fit snugly. Roll 24 small balls of aluminum foil and place them insides the cups; they'll help the tortillas hold their shape. Bake until the tortilla cups have hardened slightly on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly. (Leave the oven on.)
• Meanwhile, combine the black beans, enchilada sauce, chicken and corn in a large mixing bowl. Toss until the ingredients are evenly combined.
• Carefully spoon the filling into each cup until it is filled nearly to the brim. Sprinkle the cheeses on top of each tortilla cup. Bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is warmed through, about 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle the top of each cup evenly with desired garnishes and serve warm.
• Mash the avocados with the lime juice. Mix in the onion and season with salt and pepper. Flavor with one of the 3 following options.
• For pomegranate guacamole, fold in the pomegranate seeds. Top with more seeds before serving.
• For roasted jalapeno guacamole, fold in the diced roasted jalapenos.
• For feta guacamole, fold in the feta cheese. Top with more feta before serving.

TEX-MEX TACO CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the quick pickled onions: Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns, bay leaf and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Put the jalapeno and red onion in a medium heatsafe bowl and pour the hot vinegar mixture over. Let cool to room temperature. (The onions can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week.)
• For the taco cups: Lightly spray the tortillas on both sides with cooking spray and dust with the chili powder. Fit each tortilla into a cup of a standard muffin pan, pleating the edges and making a space in the center to form a cup. Stagger the tortillas in the muffin pan so they are not bunched together. Bake until crisp and browned on the edges but still pliable in the center, about 8 minutes.
• For the iceberg slaw. Whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, mustard, garlic powder and lime juice in a large bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the lettuce, carrot, cilantro, scallion and bell pepper and toss to coat the vegetables in the dressing.
• For the taco filling: When ready to serve, heat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the sausage slices, turning frequently, until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• To serve, divide the sausage among the taco cups. Top with some slaw, pickled onions, Cheddar and avocado. Serve with lime wedges.
