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*

- While the rice cooks, cube the slightly cooled chicken.

- 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. 😉
