Very good chicken dish that I served with another of cookingpompom's recipes, Recipe #484310 #484310. Instead of chicken breast I used tenderloins that I cut into bite size pieces and used mild salsa. This is a quick and easy meal to make and tastes great. Made and reviewed for ZWT8 - 2010. -
I looked at this recipe and went - duh, chicken, what a great idea! - change ground beef for chicken and you have my recipe for burritos filling. A flour tortilla, a thin line of filling, cheese and wrap it all up in a paper towel - zap in the microwave to melt the cheese and you have a meal. Freezes well as well. Now back to this really quick and delish recipe. I made and then froze the filling mixture so I can use for several lunches this upcoming week. I can then take a pre-measured amount along with a tortilla or two to work and have a filling and easy lunch or I might take it along with rice for less work. Thanks for offering such a great dish. Made for ZWT 8.

<p><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt=/ /> <br /><br />As a toddler, my nic-name was Pompom (my Poppy had a golf hat with a pompom and it was one of my first words, and it stuck as my nic name). My Poppy has long since passed, but I fondly remember him every time I log on. I'm a stay at home mum of four aged: 10, 8, 7 and almost 6. I have a severe egg allergy and am lactose intolerant, I enjoy working out ways to still enjoy food minus eggs and milk. I have been married for 14 years and have one very happy and well fed hubby.<br />My goal is to try one new recipe a week, for the past 8 years have achieved this. I own over 300 cookbooks, but no longer purchase them - but regularly print out recipes to try later.<br />When I am not cooking, I am busy household of 6 and going to the gym (to work off the wonderful calories I consumed the day before) and helping at school and church.<br />My philosophy in life is: as we have to eat, we may as well eat well.</p>
