I had a sudden craving for mexican food tonight, so I decided to make some quesadillas, beans and rice. When ever we eat at Bajio, I always get their sweet rice. It is so good. So I decided to try making it. It turned out really good. So here's the recipe for the rice and quesadillas. The meal took about 15 minutes total from start to finish.
Quesadillas for two:3 chicken breasts
2-3 c. shredded colby, pepper, or monterey jack cheese
2 flour tortillas
Boil and shred chicken breasts. Lay the tortillas flat on a cookie sheet (if desired brush the bottom of the tortillas with butter or margarine.) Sprinkle each with about one cup of cheese. spread shredded chicken over cheese on half of each tortilla. Broil on High for 2-3 minutes (or until cheese is melted). Remove from oven and fold each tortilla in half. Sprinkle with desired toppings (tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, cheese, lettuce, green onions, onions, olives, guacamole, etc.)
Instant Sweet Rice
1 1/4 c. water
1 chicken boullion cube
2 1/2 tsp. white sugar
1 tsp. dehidrated onion
1 tsp. cilantro
1c. instant rice
Put first 5 ingredients in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. (Make sure boullion cube is completely dissolved.) Remove from heat and add rice. Cover and let stand for 5-7 minutes.
