Mexican Rice and Black Bean Burritos or Burrito Bowls

A quick, easy dinner for tonight. Yummy burritos with chicken, cheese, rice and beans. I will admit, this looked much better before I tried to fold it. I filled mine a little too full, so be careful about that. We absolutely love these Tortilla Land flour tortillas (not sponsored, Tortilla Land doesn’t know I exist! lol). They just taste so much better than already made tortillas. I just wish I could find the burrito size. That would have helped my overfilling issue.

This is also delicious as a burrito bowl. I only ate one burrito and then had a small portion as a burrito bowl. It was so good!

This is again kind of a non-recipe. You can vary how much of the ingredients you include based on how many burritos you want to use. Tonight, I made 1 recipe of the rice, two cans of black beans, and I was the only one who used chicken. So, this can be more of an assemble your own burrito bar. Add whatever toppings you desire. I will include some ideas below.

Mexican Rice and Black Bean Burritos or Burrito Bowls
Ingredients:
1 recipe of my Restaurant Style Mexican Rice
1-2 cans of black beans, heated
Shredded cheese of your choosing (I used Mexican blend)
Flour tortillas (I used Tortilla Land soft taco sized)

Additional topping options:
Cooked, shredded or diced chicken or steak
Taco Sauce (I used Taco Bell mild and it was really good)
Guacamole
Sour Cream
Salsa
Chopped onions
Cilantro
Tomatoes

Layer desired fillings in a tortilla or your bowl and enjoy!

Not the best picture since I overfilled mine, but you get the idea. :) This was so good and so easy. If you haven’t tried the Restaurant Style Mexican Rice yet, you should. It’s super easy to make and very versatile.

Hope you enjoy it!

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started! Salt-free Ranch Dressing Mix Ingredients: 4 Tbsp of dried parsley 4 tsp of dried dill 4 tsp of onion powder 4 tsp of minced dried onion 2 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp of ground black pepper Combine the spices in a bowl and from here you can process them for a bit in a mini food processor to mix well and make some of the parsley smaller or you can use a coffee grinder as a spice grinder. Then place in a contai

A Civil War Recipe..... Oatmeal Pie

Princess came home with an assignment to to a Civil War project. There were several options but she and I always gravitate to the ones that involve cooking. So we chose to make a recipe from the Civil War time to share with her class. Can I just say how grateful I am for the internet when it comes to these school projects? We looked online and found many different recipes. I wanted one that used ingredients I already had on hand and hopefully one that would be a bit tasty. I finally found a forum where people were sharing Civil War recipes and someone had shared one for Oatmeal Pie from Charleston, South Carolina. Apparently, during the Civil War, pecans were in short supply. So oatmeal was subbed for pecans to make a sort of mock pecan pie. This recipe is very tasty and really easy. It does remind me of a pecan pie, but at the same time a little reminiscent of an apple crisp because of the oatmeal and the cinnamon. Very delicious! I'm hoping her class really enjoys it. She said th
