I enjoy making Southwest egg rolls. They’re SO easy (and you know easy are the only recipes that fly in my Homestead kitchen!)
They’re a delicious Tex-Mex favorite around here, crispy on the outside with creamy chicken filling on the inside. I’m sharing skillet fry AND air fryer directions.

I love fried chicken. What I don’t love is the added fat caused by all that soaked-in oil, or cleaning the grease-splattered mess left on my stove.
But now I use my Air Fryer to make healthier fried chicken without all that grease, y’all. Just a single tiny teaspoon of olive oil! And it cooks up fast too.

Southwest Style Quesadillas are a quick, delicious, guest-worthy meal. Flour tortillas are filled with cheese, tender-crisp veggies, corn & black beans and grilled to crispy perfection. Add shredded chicken or beef if you want an even heartier quesadilla.

Planned leftovers is purposely cooking more at one meal with the intent of turning those leftovers into a completely different kind of meal the next night.
We’d purposely grilled more chicken & vegetables so I could incorporate planned leftovers for the next day (which means a night off cooking!) That excess grilled food was quickly changed into delicious homemade chicken fajitas in minutes.

This simple Cheesy Chile Chicken Casserole recipe can be cooked the traditional way in a standard oven. But I often cook it outside in my solar oven.

I have a simple Southwest Chicken recipe that I cook outside using just the power of the sun!
One of the included vessels when I bought my solar oven is a double-stack black enamelware covered pan. That will be perfect for today’s dish: Southwest Chicken served on a bed of seasoned brown rice.
Quick & easy, mix it & forget it. The whole meal cooks at the same time!
