Make My Meal Monday : Taquitos

Make My Meal Monday:

Taquitos

Way back in my college days I loved taquitos. I probably lived off of those, pancakes and mashed potatoes as thats all I knew how to cook and loved! I still love taquitos but I like them cooked the way I like them, not in some bag! Here's my recipe for taquitos. The great thing about this recipe, it make enough for 20 taquitos. I freeze them and use them one at a time. For today's pictures I only did a half recipe, fyi!

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts shredded

3 oz cream cheese softened

1/4 c green salsa (aka salsa verde)- if you dont like spicy, use less of this!

1 can rotel style tomatoes and green chilis

1 can black beans

1 c shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 of an onion diced finely

1 Tbsp Fajita Seasoning

Combine cream cheese, salsa, beans, tomatoes, and cheese into a large bowl. 

Add Shredded Chicken.

Stop, entertain child #2.

Add Fajita Seasoning, Mix all together.

Stop, check on child #1, make sure she's not coloring on walls.

Spoon mixture into tortilla on the edge only,roll tightly and place in pan.

I froze 1/2 of the taquitos I made today(Since I only did a half recipe of the above).  These are great freezer meals, snacks, lunches so I normally make the whole recipe but freeze individually. To do that, lay them on cookie sheets not touching until they are frozen, then bag them together into a  gallon ziplock bag. 

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes and enjoy! I usually serve with Sour cream.

Fun Friday

After a whirl wind month of July, I was so happy to see the month of August arrive!!! I've been absent from blogging while working like a crazy lady and have tons to catch up on. One blog at a time, right?! So Fun friday!
After a bad morning, my Aunt took Caitlin and I to Downtown Disney for the second day in a row. She found these figurines she fell in love with yesterday, and Aunt Laura wanted to get the for her!! She loves her Lourla and Risch!

Aunt Laura met us there, picked up the friends (seen in bag) and we went to try Fresh-a peel for lunch! At lunch, she dined with her friends

ps Fresh a peel was SO tasty!! and POP chips, 100 calorie bags so tasty!!!!

We had to do the fountain. Ive watched other kids play in this fountain forever, and even though she didnt have a suit, she was playing it it!!  She had so much fun, we will HAVE to do this again!!!
