49. Make dinner every night for an entire week. (2/7)




Day two and I decided on making: family size burrito

I made a family size burrito and then used some of the leftover mix to make one for me to take for lunch to school the next day. . .all I can say is YUM-YUM!

I was glad to hear the girls say that they loved the burrito and that they wanted me to make it again. . .I am thinking now that I waited a little too long to make all these new recipes. . .well, better late then never-right?

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Thinly slice tomatoes; set aside. Dice chicken, chop onion, juice lime half. Add chicken, onion, salsa and garlic pressed. Microwave chicken mixture 3-4 minutes or until hot. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese.

2. Arrange tortillas in an overlapping circular pattern on large round stone, covering entire surface of baking stone. (Tortillas will extend off edge of baking stone by 5 inches). Starting in center, spread bean dip over tortillas using large spreader, forming a 10 X 10-inch square. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over bean dip. Fold edges of tortillas up over chicken mixture in an envelope pattern.

3. Arrange 16 tomato slices in rows over top of burrito. Sprinkle remaining cheese over burrito, covering completely. Bake 18-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are browned. Cut into rectangles; serve with assorted toppings and Avocado lime sauce, if desired.
