It’s the first Cheers to the Weekend post of the New Year and it’s really good! Or at least I like to think so because I’m a really big fan of chicken pot pies and Tex-Mex, and so these Tex-Mex Pot Pies are right up my alley. The idea came to me from watching Guy’s Grocery Games. I’m obsessed with this show, I can’t get enough of it. There was one episode where the contestants had to make pot pies and of course they weren’t allowed to make traditional pot pies because to make matters worse, they couldn’t use pie crust or puff pastry and so they had to think outside the box as these shows normally make you do. That’s TV gold right there. One of the contestants decided to make a Mexican pot pie and for her crust she fried up tortillas strips and topped them with that. The judges loved the filling, but weren’t too keen on the “crust” made of tortilla strips. One judge said it would’ve been better if she fried the whole tortillas and topped it like a lid on the pot pies. I can’t remember if she went on to win or not, but her idea along with the judge’s idea gave me the idea to create this masterpiece. Life is crazy. Moral of the story is to watch TV. You’ll get some great ideas. Help me Cheers to the Weekend by making these Tex-Mex pot pies. You won’t regret it.
