Polvorones de Canele

We have entered another state... New Mexico!!! And these cookies were so delicious that we just had to share:)

1 cup butter
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

*Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or use parchment paper.

*In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Combine flour, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture to form a stiff dough. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Mix together 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; roll balls in cinnamon mixture.
*Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in preheated oven, or until nicely browned. Cool cookies on wire racks. Yummy!!!

Apple Enchilada Dessert

Oh MY!!! This is so delicious... and yes I can thank Allie once again for allowing us to go along on her state travels;) This is another one from Arizona!!!

1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling

6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup margarine
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup water

*Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
*Spoon fruit evenly onto all tortillas, sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll up tortillas and place seam side down on lightly greased 8x8 baking pan.
*Bring margarine, sugars and water to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Pour sauce evenly over tortillas; sprinkle with extra cinnamon on top if desired. *Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. (Makes 6 large tortillas; may be cut in half to serve 12... we found that it easily feed our family of 8 eaters and we even had extras but those didn't even make it til morning;)

Layered Three Cheese Nachos

These are awesome!!! Allie made them for an appetizer when we finished studying Arizona and I have a feeling they will be getting made a lot around here:)

1 large bag of tortilla chips
2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded hot pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 cup diced onions
1 cup of yellow canned corn (drained)
1/2 cup of diced jalapenos
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put half the corn chips on an ovenproof platter and sprinkle half of each cheese on them, followed by a portion of the remaining ingredients. Top with the remaining chips and toppings, ending with a layer of the remaining cheeses. Bake until the cheeses have melted. Serve with sour cream.

***We have some that are not crazy about beans, onions or jalapenos so we left one side without these ingredients for them... sort of like a make your own nachos:)
