Answer 1

I got the easiest, healthiest recipe - even young kids love it.

Take 1 can of black beans, 3/4 cup salsa to taste, 1 chopped green pepper, and 1 cup of instant brown or white rice with the water they recommend on the box. Layer the rice and water on the bottom, put the salsa, beans and green pepper on top and put it in a microwave safe casserole dish. Cover and cook it for about 5 minutes and stir. Check to see how tender the rice is and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes if needed. Once the rice is tender, then pull out some whole wheat or regular flour tortillas. Put tortilla or burrito wrap on a plate and warm it for 30 seconds. Place as much of the rice mixture on it as you would like to stuff inside and then put a bit of shredded cheddar right on top. Wrap the burrito and set aside. Put together as many burritos as you have ingredients for and serve!

My kids love it without the flour tortilla. We think they are GREAT! You can even add meat if you like or not.

Answer 2

I have a great recipe for chicken and noodles:

cut up one whole chicken and put parts in pot; cover with water and bring to a gentle boil. Boil for 30-45 minutes, take out of water and when cool enough to handle, pull meat from bones, cut into bite sized pieces

Put 2 cans of chicken broth in large pot. Also add carrots, 3-4 stalks of celery, 1/2 onion, 2 cloves garlic, 2 cubes chicken boullion. Add salt and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender. Add cooked cut up chicken.
Mix 1 can of cream of chicken soup with 1/2 can water and add to soup mixture - when this is heated through, add 16 oz. frozen egg noodles and heat until noodles are cooked.

tastes great!!
