Tex Mex Frittata from Ree Drummond

This is a good fit for The Hippy in the Kitchen in Texas.

I saw this on a recent Food Network Show with Ree Drummond and it appealed to me. I decided to copy the link so full Credit is given to The Pioneer Woman. I'm a huge fan of everything she makes.

Tortilla Omelette

 I hesitated to post this because it seemed too simple, but it turned out to be delicious.

I didn't photograph the beginning of the recipe but I think it's self explanatory.

Cranberry Chipotle Bean Dip

 This is one of the Tex-Mex Side Dishes that we had with our Tamale Christmas Dinner this year.


This is a Bronco Bob's Recipe.

Here's what you'll need:

Tortilla Chips 

2 - 10.5 oz. Cans of Black Beans, drained well.

1 Red Onion, diced.

2 - 8 oz. Packages of Cream Cheese, softened.  Place in a small bowl and whisk well until Creamy Soft.

1- 14.75oz. Bottle of B. Bob's Cranberry (or Raspberry) Chipotle Sauce. 

Layer the Pan in the following order:

#1: Black Beans

#2: Onion, sprinkled evenly over the Beans.

#3: Cream Cheese, gently spread over the Onions.

#4: The entire Bottle of Sauce.

Christmas Margarita

 A delicious Holiday Cocktail. We were just having a conversation with neighbors about Margaritas (we live in Texas). Some felt that we should only drink them in Summer. This recipe changes that myth. 





Christmas Margarita:

5 oz. Tequila

2 oz. Triple Sec

8 oz. Pure Cranberry Juice 

4 oz. Fresh Orange Juice

A splash of Fresh Lime Juice

Combine all ingredients in a Cocktail Shaker with Ice.

Shake well and enjoy!

NOTE: The Rim of the Glass can be dipped in Salt.  Dip it in Water first and then Salt.


Enjoy!

Peace in the Kitchen.

Christmas Cosmopolitan Cocktail

 We love this Cocktail. It's perfect for the Holidays. 

After making this many time during the Holidays I've decided to only use 1/8 C of Lemon Juice. It was too strong for us.


Enjoy!
