Emily sent this to me. I don't know how to explain it other than it is Cafe Rio goodness! This is three separate recipes for one meal. They all use pretty common ingredients. The most exotic is tomatillos. I have never used them personally, but my husband has. If we can buy them in the small town we live in, I know you can get them anywhere. Thank you so much for taking the time to send this!
I'll be posting in a few days, maybe a week, the next giveaway.
Cafe Rio Chicken
Ingredients:
1 small bottle Kraft zesty Italian dressing (I use Kraft Free)
1 T chili powder
1 T cumin
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 lbs. chicken (I use tenders)
Put chicken in a crock pot
Mix the rest of the ingredients together
Pour over top of the chicken
Cook on low for 4 hours
Shred chicken with 2 forks, and then cook for 1 more hour
Cafe Rio Rice
Ingredients:
3 c. water
1 T chicken bullion (or use chicken broth instead of water)
2 t minced garlic
1/4-1/2 bunch cilantro
1/2 can green chile's
1/2 t. salt
1/2 T butter
1/4 onion
1 1/2 c rice
Blend cilantro, green chile's and onion together in food processor or blender
Bring water to boil, and add all ingredients
Simmer covered for 30 minutes
Creamy Tomatillo Dressing
Ingredients:
3 fresh tomatillos husked, washed, quartered
1 pkg. Buttermilk ranch dressing
1 c. mayo
1/3 to 1/2 c. buttermilk
1 c. fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 t. cayenne pepper
fresh lime juice to taste (1-3 T)
Cumin ( a few sprinkles)
2-4 drops green Tabasco
1-2 T sugar
Mix all ingredients in blender
The buttermilk is depending on how thick you want it
A lot of the ingredients are determined on how you like it! So, taste it and go from there!!!
This dressing doesn't last long in the fridge. So, use it up quick!
My husband will love this. He loves Cafe Rio.
