Meals made

I find creating a meal out of nothing so satisfying. Looking around in the kitchen to see what ingrediants there are and developing a simple yet delicious meal that can make the boy smile nod and practically lick the plate clean!


Some sort of burrito with beans and chorizo, mexican rice and grilled lime.

Ingredients

1 lime halved

2 tortillas

a handful of Salad greens

mozzerella cheese

Burrito Filling Ingredients

1/4 red capsicum

1 400g crushed tomatos

1 small onion chopped

2 cloves garlic crushed

1 large Chorizo sliced on angle

1 large onion chopped

1 can of kidney beans

100g button mushrooms sliced

1/2 cup water

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked praprika

store bought salsa and ranch dressing (or sour cream in avail)

Mexican Rice Ingredients

1 Small onion finley chopped

1 clove garlic sliced

1 can crushed tomato semi drained

1/2 cup of corn kernels

1 pinch of smoked praprika

1/2 cup of vegetable stock

1/2 cup water

1 cup white rice

In a frying pan place the rice and cook til golden brown (never take your eye off it). When golden place in onion garlic and mix then place can of tomatos, water, corn and stock.

Mix well then leave for approx 25 mins

In the mean time in a large pot place chopped onions and garlic then place chorizo and cook, add capsicum and carrots. Add water, tomatos, beans, cumin, praprika and mushroom stir well.

Leave uncovered for 20 mins stiring occasionally.

Halve a lime and place on ridge grill to warm through.

Assemble the burrito by adding ingredients onto tortilla with cheese and secure with toothpick or skewer and pop on ridge grill to warm through.

Give the rice one last stir.

Pop all on plate, cover burrito with salsa and ranch dressing and your DONE!!!

YUM
