Yariba yariba!

A number of you were actually disappointed after reading my post with the photo of the "Prego" sauce because there was no secret recipe. So today I will share one of our favorite meals that I created! I think I am a pretty good cook, but have little to no imagination and creativity, so making a meal without a recipe is a big thing for me.

All the meals I make take less than 30 minutes, so this one is quick and easy!

Here it is: Nancy's Mexican Wraps

1.5 cups raw rice
2 chicken breasts
1/2 a pepper
1 cup corn (frozen or not)
Lotsa Salsa
6 wraps (any kind)
Cilantro (optional)
Taco Seasoning


Fillings:
Grated cheese
Sour cream

Start cooking 1.5 cups of rice. By the time it's done, your meal will be too (unless, of course, you are using minute-rice).

Cut 2 chicken breasts into small cubes and stirfry in olive oil until done (5 minutes?). Use a BIG frying pan.

Add chopped pepper, corn, taco seasoning, 1/2 cup - 1 cup of salsa and some cilantro (if using) and cook a few minutes.

Stick on simmer and yell at the rice cooker because you are ready for the rice, but it's not ready to give it to you.

Might as well grate the cheese and get out wraps, sour cream and any other fillings you want (lettuce, beans...) while you wait.

Stand impatiently by the rice cooker and yell some more. Eventually it will be done.

Scoop finished rice into the fry pan and mix it all together.



Pray for the meal before you start filling, because once you start filling, it's hard to put it back down.

Spread sour cream in a line in the middle of the wrap. Put the rest of the fillings on top. Fold up the bottom of the wrap so stuff doesn't fall out.

Eat.

VIOLA! A good meal that took no time at all!

Makes 6 wraps. Take the leftovers in a container to work, and build your wrap at lunch time! MMmm. Tastes just like it did last night!

Enjoy.
