one of our favorites


are you in need of an easy dinner idea?


i have one right here for you.

i don't have a name for it because we just made it up, but they are
basically chicken burritos. we have these all of the time... seriously, almost once a week.




we throw a can of chicken (found at sam's club) in a pan, a can of beans
(black or sometimes pinto- mainly whatever we have), some salsa, and some corn if
we feel like it. tonight we didn't feel like it. you can even toss in leftover rice.


then here is the delicious trick:

we sprinkle, ok... maybe we smother, the chicken mixture with taco seasoning and seasoned salt. you NEED to have these on hand (also found at sam's club in the big size). they give everything that extra flavor. we sometimes just put some chicken breasts in a pan with these two seasonings and we end up with delicious chicken.

we are huge fans.



oh and we can't forget uncooked tortillas. jeremy always gets these guys going while i work on the chicken mixture. i sometimes try to sneak in some salsa verde, but he doesn't like things that spicy. anyways... uncooked tortillas have become a staple in our fridge.



and there you have it: a way easy dinner.


what do you need again? oh that's right... like two cans and some salsa.
oh and don't forget the shredded cheese. enjoy!

I was needing a quick dinner last night and remembered seeing this on your blog. So we made these with pinto beans and LOVED them!! Even both of my girls gobbled them up. Thanks, Kaite!!! I love your blog!
