BBQ Chicken and Black Bean Burritos
Dean’s Creation

• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans
• 1 tsp olive oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp coriander

• 12 ounces chicken (white or dark meat)
• 1 Medium onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 6 ounces BBQ sauce
• 8 ounces pepper Jack cheese, shredded, divided
• 6 10 inch flour tortillas

Drain and rinse beans. Heat beans with garlic and coriander in olive oil, set aside.
Boil or bake chicken (if not already cooked) until no longer pink, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then shred with fingers. Heat olive oil in sauté pan, add onion and cook approximately 5 minutes until translucent. Add Shredded chicken and BBQ sauce, stir fry until well blended.
Divide beans and chicken mixture evenly across 6 tortillas, top each with some of the cheese (use approx 4 ounces), and roll into burritos. Place in baking dish spray lightly with PAM (helps keep burritos from drying out).
Heat in 350 degree oven for 10 – 15 minutes, 20 minutes if refrigerated. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and heat another 5 minutes.

Answer 6

I tried baking a cake without all the ingredients; Iit is not my own idea, it belongs to this young girl in college; used flavored coke---vanilla coke, cherry coke etc. and you can use either the regular stuff or diet. Simply follow the directions---oil the pan, heat the oven however, use the coke (flavored tastes better) and mix, put the mix in the pan and before you know it you have yourself cake that is good and semi-healthy for you, family, and friends. Try it and get back to me and tell me how it worked out.

Answer 7

A big hand clap for you. It is always good to know how to cook for yourself. The following is very easy. The most you will have to do is find the foods at the supermarket. Just ask a clerk where everything is. They will be happy to help.

The microwave and a crock pot are two things you will need. If you do not have them, you can pick them up at WalMart for a very good inexpensive price.

Hormel, Armour, Tyson and other brands have packages of PRE-COOKED beef tips, roast, pot roast, pork roast, chicken, ham, meatload. Most all come with gravy. They are very good and I serve them often. Use this for your meat dish and add vegetables, rice, or potatoes and gravy. You will find these packages near the meat section, they are not frozen.

Tyson's fully cooked whole chickens are delicious. I serve them often with S&W canned sweet potatoes, Stove-Top dressing-comes in a box-follow directions on the box, microwave chicken/turkey gravy-comes in a jar, a canned vegetable, canned cranberry sauce, and Pillsbury Microwave Biscuits which are better than I can make found in the freezer section-follow directions on the package. A frozen pie defrosted and fully cooked. Perfect for one or two people at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
