If you ask anyone that truly knows me, they’ll tell you that when it comes to cooking, I rarely follow a recipe. Recipes, to me, are more like inspirational reading. (Unless of course I’m baking. Let’s not get crazy here). 

Some of my very favorite “culinary creations” are dishes that I throw together when the pantry and fridge are looking stark. 

Grocery shopping is scheduled for tomorrow; so tonight was one of those nights. 

I am by all accounts, a novice chef. That being said- I couldn’t get enough of tonight’s accident- er, recipe. Obviously, I had to share (and posting it while it’s fresh in my mind means that MY family will get to enjoy it again- because I never remember how I make things, haha!). 

*note: because I was using the last of some ingredients and because I never measure things, the recipe will be approximate and random. Not sorry. This is how I roll*

• Garlic or garlic powder 
• Red bell pepper, chopped

2. Chop onion and add to chicken. 
3. Season with salt, pepper, herbs d’provence, and garlic.

6. Bring to boil and then lower heat. Cover and let simmer until rice has absorbed most of the liquid. 
7. While the rice cooks, cube the slightly cooled chicken. 
8. Add chicken and several “dashes” of Siracha to the rice. (Depending on how spicy you like it!)
9. In another skillet or in the microwave, place a little cheese on tortillas and heat until tortilla is warm and the cheese is slightly melted
10. Add chicken/rice mixture to tortillas, and finish with ranch (or which ever substitute you choose!) 

I honestly had no idea how it was going to taste. And then I had seconds. 

You’re welcome. 😉
