Grilled Sausages with Pickled Onions
Grilled Sausages with Pickled Onions
from: Real Simple
4 large red onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
8 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups cider vinegar
Grated zest of 2 oranges
6 12-ounce packages cooked sausages (pork, chicken, turkey, lamb, and/or vegetarian)
Assorted mustards
Drop the onions into lightly salted boiling water for 1 minute; drain. Place the onions in a bowl with the pepper, cumin, garlic, salt, vinegar, and orange zest; add just enough water to cover. Refrigerate until the onions are bright pink, about 3 hours. Drain before serving.
Note: The sausages can be grilled or broiled earlier on the day of the party. Slice them into bite-size pieces (which makes knives unnecessary) and reheat them in foil in the oven before serving with the onions and an assortment of gutsy, grainy mustards.

Beef & Onion Enchiladas
Beef & Onion Enchiladas
Yield: (More than)4 servings
This is my own recipe and I make them all the time! Everyone loves them. You can adjust the amounts of anything to your taste. I have also been known to cook spanish rice and add it to the meat. It makes a lot but you can freeze it for later!
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 chopped onions
1/2 pkg taco seasoning
1/2 pkg enchilada seasoning
1/2 can tomato sauce
1/2 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1/2 can refried beans
12 corn tortillas
1/2 lb cheddar cheese - (grated)
Brown ground beef in a pan, drain off grease. Add chopped onion, taco seasoning, 1/2 can tomatoes w/green chilies. Cook until onions are tender. While these are cooking, prepare the enchilada sauce as per package directions and add the remaining tomatoes w/green chilies to the sauce. Add refried beans to ground meat mixture. Put a scoop of the enhilada sauce in the bottom of 2 13x9 pans. Heat a few corn tortillas at a time in the microwave by wrapping them in a paper towel and heating them for about 15 seconds. Spoon meat mixture in tortillas, roll them up and place in the pan until all are filled. If you fill all of your tortillas and have some meat left over-dump it in the enchilada sauce and spoon the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with cheese and bake in oven at 350 degrees until the cheese is melted.
