- Beefy Spanish Rice

Chicken Flautas
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1/2 c. chopped onion

1 tsp. cooking oil
2 c. shredded cooked chicken
1 c. canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 c. salsa
1/2 c. shredded Mexican cheese
2 Tbsp snipped fresh cilantro
Warm tortillas in microwave for 30 seconds or until heated through.
In a large saucepan, cook onion and garlic in the 1 tsp hot oil until tender. Stir in chicken, black beans, salsa, the cheese, and cilatnro.
For each flauta, spoon about 1/2 cup filling across each warm tortilla about 1 1/2 inches from one edge. Roll up tortillas as tightly as possible. Secure with wooden toothpicks. Place flautas on a large baking sheet and brush with 1 Tbsp cooking oil. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Serve as directed.

I think you can sign in and add more meals to be voted on. If someone wants to try it and let me know. If that doesn't work just email them to me and I'll be happy to add them into the poll.
