Dinner Ideas please...DH wants something spicy.

He wants something spicy (his nose is stopped up). It needs to be a fairly quick fix. I will only have about an hour once I get home to get it made and taken to him at work. We are having chicken tacos on Wednesday and he is not a fan of soups.

I'm stuck. Help.

You said no soup but I was going to recommend a spicy chili. If you use a prepared seasoning packet, that's pretty fast.

So good! Sounds complicated but it's not!

Green Chili Beef Enchiladas

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound lean ground beef (at least 80% lean)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can (4.5-ounce size) chopped green chiles
8 ounces shredded colby-monterey jack cheese (more to taste if desired)
1 can (10-ounce size) enchilada sauce
1 can green chili sauce
6 (8-inch size) flour or corn tortillas

***GARNISHES, IF DESIRED***
shredded lettuce
chopped tomatoes
additional sour cream
salsa or pico de gallo

DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 350F. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium-high heat until beef is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain.

Stir in sour cream, green chiles and 1 cup of the cheese. Spread about 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce in 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish.

Spread about 2 teaspoons enchilada sauce on each tortilla. Top each with 2/3 cup beef mixture. Roll up tortillas; place seam side down over enchilada sauce in baking dish.

Drizzle remaining enchilada sauce and green chili sauce evenly over filled tortillas. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup (or more) cheese. Spray sheet of foil with cooking spray(optional); place sprayed side down on baking dish and seal tightly.

Bake at 350F for 45 to 50 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve garnished with lettuce, tomato, pico de gallo, and additional sour cream.

Just get him some Wasabi. That'll clear him right up!

Or you could make pasta with alfredo and throw in some Ceyenne (sp?).

Yum! All those sound awesome. I wrote down the enchilada recipe for another night. I think the chicken alredo sounds like the winner. BLACKENED/SPICY chicken alfredo. yummy!!
