Santa Fe Chicken Pita Pizza

This recipe was soooo easy.  Like usual, I added extra ingredients because I had some that I thought would be a good addition.  I added tomatoes, green onions and corn.  Also, I used regular black beans instead of refried black beans because I read the recipe wrong, but I think I'll use it that way again.  Also, of course I did not measure anything.  I just put how much I wanted on each pita flat.  For some reason the grocery store I was at didn't sell pitas?  So I made them on these sandwich flats that they had, but the centers got soggy.  I'm definitely looking somewhere else for pitas next time.

Ingredients:

• 4 pita breads (6 inches)
• 1/2 cup refried black beans
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1 cup cubed cooked chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
• 2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives
• 3/4 cup shredded colby-monterey jack cheese

Directions
1.  Place pita breads on an ungreased baking sheet, spead with salsa and top with beans.  Top with all the other ingredients, finishing with cheese.

2.  Bake at 350 for 8-10 mins or until the cheese is melted.

Grilled Stuffed Burritos

When Kyle first had these, he was in love.  He said they were everything he ever wanted out of a "Grilled Stuffed Burrito" from Taco Bell, but even better.  They're pretty simple too.  Just make sure that you don't get the pan too hot when you're grilling the tortillas, or they'll turn out like these.....

Also, I have a really hard time not filling the tortillas too full.  When I make them, they usually become tacos instead of burritos.  

Ingredients:

1 1/2 to 2 cups cooked rice

1 cup cooked, shredded chicken

1/2 red or green pepper, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

3/4 cup corn, cooked

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp garlic salt

2 cups shredded cheese

sour cream

Tortillas

I add other ingredients that I like in Mexican food, like tomatoes, onions or green onions.  

Directions

1. Mix rice together with chili powder, cumin and garlic salt.  Add remaining ingredients, except for the cheese and sour cream.  Sprinkle cheese over tortillas then dot sour cream down the center.  Arrange the chicken/rice mixture down the center.  Roll stuffed tortillas.  Arrange wraps seam side down on skillet  (med-low heat) and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 mins per side.
