Bean Rice Cheese Burritos
Pico de Gallo
Dessert Quesadillas

Bean Rice Cheese Burritos:
1 Cup long-grain white rice
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
1 can (15 ounces) refried beans
5 flour tortillas (burrito size)
¼ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar
½ head romaine lettuce
½ cup salsa
1.     Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan, bring rice and broth to a boil over high. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes; fluff rice with a fork. Meanwhile, in another small saucepan, warm beans and cup water over low, stirring occasionally. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven to warm, about 10 minutes.
2.     To assemble, divide beans, rice, and cheese among tortillas. For each tortilla, fold side closest to you over filling, then fold right and left sides toward center; tightly roll up burrito. Fry in skillet until lightly browned.  Serve topped with sour cream, lettuce, and Pico de Gallo if desired.


Pico de Gallo:

2 medium tomato diced
2 onion finely chopped
1 fresh jalapeño pepper
4 sprigs fresh cilantro
2 green onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 bag tortilla chips

 In a medium bowl, combine tomato, onion, jalapeno pepper (to taste,) cilantro and green onion. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir until evenly distributed. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.


Dessert Quesadillas:

Flour tortillas
Crunchy peanut butter
Marshmallow crème
Semi- sweet chocolate chips
Cooking spray or butter

Prepare a large skillet with cooking spray or butter and heat over medium heat.   Smear 1 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter onto 1 side of each tortilla in a thin layer to cover. Spread marshmallow cream to cover peanut butter. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chocolate chips atop each portion of marshmallow cream and finish by putting the remaining tortillas atop the chocolate chips with the peanut butter side down.  Cook quesadillas in hot skillet until lightly browned and chocolate chips have melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
