We have ants again. I guess not again, they never really left, so I guess I should say we have ants in our PANTRY again (we took all the food out, so it's all good). But the bugman has come to assess and will be back tomorrow, so HOPEFULLY HOPEFULLY HOPEFULLY they will be gone soon. Or at least manageable. This is really ridiculous.
We asked the former owners (yep, sure did! No fear here, haha!) if they had any problems with ants. And they said they hadn’t at all, more with spiders. We have only seen ONE spider since we moved in and it was dead. So I have decided I don’t believe them. There is no way the ants are this bad this close to us moving in and they didn’t have any problems. So there!
On a different note, last night we tried out a new recipe. It was very good-I think its definitely a keeper! I do think it needs full size taco shells though…we had to use toothpicks (lots of toothpicks) to hold them together so we could cook them. Its similar to the Taco Bell grilled stuft burrito (my absolute favorite!), but with a smidge of difference in fillings. I’ll let you know the ingredients to my best guess, but we adjusted them ourselves, so I’m sure you could make it however you please:
3 cups cooked chicken
1 ½ cups Monterey Jack cheese
½ tsp. black pepper
1 can black beans, drained
1 can corn, drained
1 16 oz. jar of salsa
1 red onion (we couldn’t find a good red one, so we used white. Tasty anyway!)
3 cups rice
Cilantro (we used dried but it called for fresh)
Tortillas! (get the big ones—trust me on this one)
You mix your corn and onion together in a (BIG) skillet and cook for a little bit before adding beans, salsa and rice. We just left that on the stove on medium while we dealt with the rest of it. Mix the chicken, pepper, and cheese in a bowl. Okay, now you’ve got all your filling.
Fill your tortilla with a bit of the rice/bean mixture and some chicken/cheese mixture and then top the filling with a smidge of cilantro. Fold up your tortilla into a burrito and coat lightly with cooking spray. Then put it into a skillet to cook until the tortilla gets nice and crispy (I would recommend not getting your skillet too hot…our burritos were a little black. But still yummy!), then devour with all sorts of intensity! Yum!
Since we used little shells, we didn’t fill up a ton of burritos. 3 for each of us was MORE than enough…I couldn’t even eat that much. So we have lots and lots of filling left over! Awesome!
(I got that recipe out of a magazine…can’t remember if it was Family Circle or Better Homes and Gardens though, or something else.)
