Spice it up with "secret" recipes!© Judy Howle
Feb 22, 2000
Most "recipe surfers" are probably already familiar with CopyKat and Top Secret Recipes, but some of you may not be or may not have time to search for the recipes. These sites have recipes that are provided by the restaurants or are "invented" by chefs to mimic the original restaurant dishes. Here are some spicy ones I have selected for you to try and I have provided links to the sites so that you can search for more. CHILI'S CHICKEN ENCHILADA SOUP
Top Secret Recipes
Notes: Recipe can be halved. 1/2 C. Vegetable oil
1/4 C. Chicken base
3 C. diced Yellow Onions
2 tsp. ground Cumin
2 tsp. Chili Powder
2 tsp. granulated Garlic
1/2 tsp. Cayenne pepper
2 C. Masa Harina
4 qt. Water (divided)
2 C. crushed Tomatoes
1/2 lb. processed American cheese, cut in small cube
3 lb. cooked, cubed chicken
Preparation Instructions:
In large pot, place oil, chicken base, onion and spices. Sauté until onions are soft and clear, about 5 minutes In another container, combine Masa Harina with 1 quart water. Stir until all lumps dissolve. Add to sautéed onions, bring to boil. Once mixture starts to bubble, continue cooking 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. This will eliminate any raw taste from Masa harina. Add remaining 3 quarts water to pot. Add tomatoes; let mixture return to boil stirring occasionally. Add cheese to soup. Cook stirring occasionally, until cheese melts.
Add chicken; heat through. Makes 1 1/2 gallons or 16-20 servings. CHEDDAR'S SANTA FE SPINACH DIP
