ok, here it is,,simple, but good..and even cheap..
You know those roasted chickens that you get in the store?...and you can hardly ever eat the whole thing??..Now you don't have to use those particular chickens...but the work just fine, and their already cooked..
ok, de-bone whatever is left,(the more, the merrier), and toss the pieces in a small, to medium saucepan. Add about two inches of water, and heat it up....meanwhile, in another pan, cook up some rice(should take about 14 minutes after putting in the rice, in the boiling water)
Toss in a can of green chillies Small can will do, if you're making a little. Add a dash..only a dash, of garlic powder, and a shake or two of salt..enough to taste....When the rice is cooked, add a little bit of corn starch, with cold water,(to make it dissolve, and not be lumpy), into the chicken and water. You do this at the end, because the acid in the chillies, will keep it from staying thick...ok?? Take a large, thin flour tortilla, and toss it right onto the burner, right over the flame(or if you have and electric oven, right on the filament).
Watch it so it doesn't burn, but it should bubble a little, and the bubbles on the bottom might get dark, even just a little black..but not too much. Flip tortilla over a couple of times...this takes just a few seconds, on each side, flipping it over a couple of times...ok?
Now take the tortilla(which should be pliable, and put it on a large plate, spoon out some of the rice, and run a line of it off center a little on the tortilla..do the same with the chicken stuff..at least equal portions of both...sprinkle some grated(you can buy it that way)
Monterey Jack cheese over it..don't skimp...roll it up and fold it right, (no instructions on here for that)...give it a moment or two, to let the cheese melt a little...then stuff your face!..It should have a slight 'buttery' flavor to it!....Practice may make perfect..BUT..if you do it exactly the way I wrote it, you might get it right on the first shot! Once you get it, its a way to feed a bunch of your musical buddies, well...and they'll love it!..ok...my good deed for the day.....try it even print out this recipe..it sounds simple..it is simple...but it tastes great!!....
Now if you don't want to roll it, you can just roll it and leave it on the plate, smother it in more green chili sauce and Monterey Jack, throw a few olives on for good measure. Fast, too!!....good luck
