Anytime Egg Burritos

This is a family favorite, my boys love these and they are so easy for them to just pop in the microwave, heat and eat.

fajita size flour tortillas
scrambled eggs with a little milk and butter
picante sauce
shredded cheese

additional ingredients to add in if you want:
browned breakfast sausage, bacon pieces, diced veggies such as bell pepper, onion and mushrooms, etc. You can pretty much do whatever you like.

In a large non-stick skillet, I add a little milk and butter then my eggs and scramble.
I take a tortilla, add some cheese, then eggs, then picante sauce and either heat and eat right then and there or I wrap in individual snack size bags for heat and eat Anytime of the day or night, store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or in the freezer for a month. You can thaw out and heat a few seconds at a time so you don't over heat. Ours usually don't last long enough to freeze, lol.

"My kids love it" Chicken Tortilla Soup

My kids aren't big on vegetables, go figure, lol, so I came up with this new version of my chicken tortilla soup, without a lot of veggies and they love it.
It's super easy and super delish.

1 carton of chicken broth
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons dried cilantro
1/2 can diced tomatoes w/garlic and onion
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 pkgs. Tyson Southwest flavor chicken chunks
shredded cheese of your choice
diced avocado (optional) my kids like theirs without
tortilla chips

Add all ingredients except avocado, cheese & chips into a large soup pot or sauce pan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve over crushed tortilla chips and top with cheese and avocado. YUMMO!!!

Easy Beef Stew using leftovers

In a large pot, add leftover roast, carrots and potatoes, cut into chunks, 1 can of green beans, drained, 1 pkg. of stew seasoning, 1 can of tomatoe sauce, 1/2 cup sliced celery, black pepper and about 2 cups of water. Stir together and heat until bubbly, then reduce heat and simmer until juices are thickened. Serve with crackers or cornbread.

Steak Sauce Burgers

4 lean hamburger patties
steak sauce (I use Walmart's brand)
salt & pepper
buns
cheese
lettuce
mustard
any other toppings you like.


In a large skillet, start cooking patties and sprinkle with salt and pepper on each side. Pour steak sauce on each side and add some to the skillet. As the meat cooks, the juices mix with the steak sauce and make a gravy. Assemble your burger however you like it, and the patties are full of flavor. This would also be good with bacon, onions and mushrooms. Yum!

Low Fat Mini Pizza Rolls

1 pkg. reduced fat crescent rolls
mini pepperonis (use turkey pepperoni for an even lower fat version)

pizza sauce

Separate crescent rolls. Spread some pizza sauce, then top with cheese and mini pepperonis. Carefully fold starting at the top and roll. Place on greased baking sheet and bake until golden brown.
