Instructions
  1. To a medium skillet add paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and cardamom.
  2. Cook over medium heat until slightly toasted and fragrant, stirring frequently, about 1 - 2 minutes. (In a rush this step can be skipped, it just adds a little more flavor).
  3. In a large mixing bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, oil, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, spices from skillet, and season with salt and pepper (I use 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper).
  4. Add chicken thighs and toss well in mixture to coat evenly.
  5. Cover bowl and transfer to refrigerator and let marinate at least 3 hours and up to 10 hours.
  6. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat to about 425 degrees.
  7. Clean grill grates and brush with oil.
  8. Grill chicken about 10 - 12 minutes per side for bone-in thighs (5 - 7 minutes per side for boneless thighs), while basting once lightly with oil if desired to reduce exterior drying, until chicken registers 165 on an instant read thermometer in center near bone.
  9. Let rest a few minutes off heat, serve warm with cilantro.

Instructions
  1. In a medium size mixing bowl, add shredded beef and diced onions, mix well and set aside.
  2. In a medium size sauce pan, add the oil, flour, and chili powder. Turn to medium heat and whisk the ingredients together.
  3. Continue to whisk as the mixture begins to boil for one minute, then whisk in the water, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Allow the sauce to come up to a simmer. Once it reaches a simmering boil it will begin to thicken slightly after about 20 to 30 minutes.
  4. Add salt to taste and 1/4 teaspoon sugar, mix to combine and then add about 1/4 cup of sauce to the shredded beef mixture and stir to combine. Set aside remaining sauce for enchiladas.
  5. In a small size skillet, add oil to medium-high heat. Gently add one tortilla at a time and fry to a semi soft stage. Dab each tortilla with paper towels to remove excess oil.
  6. As each tortilla is fried and dabbed with paper towels, stack them to keep them soft for rolling.
  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray with a nonstick cooking spray a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
  8. Lay (one at a time) fried tortilla on a flat surface, add about 2 tablespoons shredded beef mixture to the middle of the fried tortilla and top with about 1 teaspoon shredded cheese.
  9. Roll the tortilla tightly and place in the baking dish (seam side down). Repeat until all 12 tortillas are filled. (For best results, line the enchiladas into two rows of 6).
  10. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the filled tortillas, and then add remaining shredded cheese evenly to the top of the sauce and top with the sliced olives.
  11. Cover baking dish with foil and bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and hot. Serve with sour cream, optional.
Recipe Notes

Original Recipes:  https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/authentic-beef-enchiladas-523462

This was oddly bland.  Tasted a lot like onion, but that was actually about it.  I'm thinking less onion and need to infuse more chili flavor into the meat.  The shredded beef itself turned out pretty good (see Mexican Shredded Beef recipe), but all together it was just lacking.  That being said, it was fairly easy, and I think it's a good place to start, or if you aren't into or can't eat heavily spiced food it's good as is.  I'll be working on this again, I think.  (3.25.19)

Instructions
  1. Mix flour, garlic & onion powder, salt, red & black pepper in a shallow container for dredging.
  2. Put the beaten egg in one shallow dish, and milk in another shallow dish.
  3. Combine 1 Tbsp each butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted and oil and butter are shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Coat pork chops, one at a time, in milk, then dredge in flour mix, then coat with beaten egg, and finally dredge again in flour mix, trying to keep the pork chop completely covered with the coating. Place carefully in skillet.
  5. Cook for ~3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the coating in light golden brown and slightly crispy, and you can see where it is starting to cook up the sides of the chops. Turn carefully to keep breading intact, and turn away from you to avoid grease spatter and burns. Cook another 3-5 minutes as needed, then remove from the skillet and cover with foil for a few minutes before eating. If at any time the skillet is without any butter/oil, or starts sticking, add more butter & oil as needed. Serve hot.
  6. OPTIONAL: If you have any burnt crunchy bit on the bottom of the skillet, you can stir in a few herbs or onions; deglaze with chicken or beef stock, water, or wine; mix in a Tbsp or two or flour, and cook at medium-low heat until thickened and ready to use as a pan sauce.
