Chicken Bundles


If you are looking for something for lunch that is simple and is a little heartier than a PB & J, I have a recipe for you!  I got this recipe from my mother-in-law.  It's a great way to use leftover chicken.

Here's what you will need:

Tortillas
Refried Beans
Salsa, if desired
Shredded cheese
Diced cooked chicken
Onions, if desired
Taco seasoning

The amounts needed depend on how big your tortillas are and your own personal preferences.  I had large tortillas and only two 4 ounce pieces of chicken.  I stretched the chicken to make four of these, but I would have preferred to have a little more chicken--something like 12 ounces would have been better.


Start by spreading some refried beans on your tortilla.


Add salsa if desired and sprinkle with shredded cheese.  (We like the colby and monterray jack blend.)


Top with chicken and sprinkle with a small amount of taco seasoning.  If you are cooking chicken just for making chicken bundles, spread the chicken with a little olive oil and sprinkle on taco seasoning while you grill it--delicious!


Fold in the sides of the tortilla, wrap up, and wrap in aluminum foil.


Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or until warm.  (I marked the one with salsa in it with an "S.")  Enjoy!

French Vanilla Coffee Mix

Image
Okay, if you follow my posts regularly, you have probably keyed into the fact that I like to make mixes.  I made some of these French Vanilla Coffee mixes up for Christmas gifts this year.  It's something that people don't have to use right away, and also goes well with all the goodies that are coming in at that time of the year.  Go here for this recipe plus eight other yummy coffee mix recipes. PS--If you're going to make some mixes in a jar or a bag, I recommend getting an open-mouthed funnel.  I got mine in a specialty kitchen store.  It's great for getting the mix in place without ending up with it all over your countertop!

World's Best Hot Cocoa MIx

Image
Growing up, I never had anything but the Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa packets.  I always wanted to get the ones with the mini marshmallows in it even though by the time I got my cocoa mixed up they had almost melted away.  So, when I tasted my mother-in-law's deliciously-creamy cocoa, I had to have the recipe for the mix! My kids often request this after they come in from playing outdoors.  Put it in a cute container or bag, and it makes a great Christmas gift!  I packaged mine up with some homemade peppermint marshmallows this year! I have recently updated this recipe with homemade versions of the powdered Nesquik and creamer.  My kids and I like it even better than the original--it's cheaper, too! World's Best Hot Cocoa Mix (adapted from Gloria Woodmancy's recipe in Sharon Springs United Methodist Cookbook) 1 (2.54 pound) canister Nesquik chocolate powder  (Use this recipe for homemade.  I think it took about a quadruple batch to equal 2 1/2 pounds--just use you
