	* Exported from MasterCook * Barbecued Chicken and Black Bean Burritos Recipe By : Karen Barker, Durham, NC / Desperation Dinner Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:15 Categories : Chicken Beans/Legumes Cheese Main Dishes Volume 4, Jan. '99 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts or leftover cooked chicken 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon minced garlic -- bottled 15 ounces cooked black beans 1/3 cup barbecue sauce -- preferrably Thomas BarBBQ or substitute salsa 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese, or more to taste 4 large fat-free flour tortillas: ten-inch 1. If the chicken is frozen, place it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 3 minutes, uncovered, to begin defrosting. Meanwhile, peel and dice the onion, and set it aside. 2. Begin heating the oil in a 12-inch, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cut the chicken into bite-size chunks, adding each chicken-breast half to the pan as you cut it. Raise the heat to medium-high. When all of the chicken is added, cook for 2 minutes, stirring from time to time. 3. Add the onion and garlic and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 more minutes (for frozen chicken). 4. Meanwhile, rinse and drain the black beans. Measure out the barbecue sauce and cheese. Set aside. When the chicken is cooked through, add the beans and barbecue sauce to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and stir well to coat the chicken with sauce. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the skillet and continue to cook without stirring until the cheese melts, about 2 to 3 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in the microwave according to the package directions. To serve, spoon equal amounts of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla, dollop with sour cream (if desired), and roll up burrito-style. Serves 4.

INTRO: Desperation Dinners 03/25/98 from Beverly Mills, with Alicia Ross. The recipe comes from working-Mom chef, Karen Barker. She and husband run the Magnolia Grill in Durham, N.C. The Barkers' restaurant specializes in New American cuisine, and their menu is known for centering on regional Southern ingredients that are used in new ways or combined with cooking techniques from other parts of the country. It's not surprising, then, to find that eastern North Carolina-style barbecue sauce is one of Barker's pantry staples. It's the secret ingredient to this quick, kid-friendly and slightly sweet recipes for a Tex-Mex-meets-North-Carolina burrito. VARIATIONS: If you like spicy food, add a minced jalapeno pepper in Step 3. or a vegetable presence, add 1 1/2 cups frozen bell-pepper strips along with the beans in Step 4. Feel free to garnish with reduced-fat sour cream, if desired. >Recipe-mail from Pat Hanneman <kitpath@earthlink.net> Sent to Fareshare gazette 01/25/99(Mon) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.

'99 Ground Beef Luncheon Main Dishes Onions Potatoes Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 pound ground beef -- (1 to 2) 1 large onion -- sliced 2 branches celery -- (2 to 4) potatoes -- peeled and cut up 1 can beef broth (not condensed) Brown beef with onion and drain fat. Add beef broth, celery cut in chunks and potatoes (4 - 8 depending on how many you are serving) cut in chunks. Cover and cook until liquid is dissolved and potatoes and celery are tender. I vary the beef and potatoes by how many I am serving that night. This is an odd sounding dish, but is quite tasty.

'99 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 8 oz Dark CHOCOLATE coating (I use Semper Swedish Coating -Dark) -- *see below 1/4 C. WHIPPING CREAM 1 T. Unsalted BUTTER 2 1/2 T. CHAMBORD -- COGNAC (or your choice) Scald Cream & Butter together. Stir to Melt chopped Chocolate when smooth, mix in Scalded Cream and Butter. When smooth, mix in Booze. Pour into small bowl, let firm up at room temp and set until firm (2-8 hours). Form into balls using #100 scoop, slightly rounded (then use hands to form rounds). Let balls sit overnight on waxed paper or foil to firm (will have slight crust), then Dip in Dark or Light melted CHOCOLATE COATING NOTES: Use dipping fork to dip balls. Use scoop for forming balls. Always use double boiler "off" the stove Heat water in bottom to "WARM" (do not come to a boil), take off stove and then put on double boiler top filled with finely chopped coating onto the double boiler bottom to melt chocolate coating. Do not cover melting chocolate, or it will form steam and cause chocolate to become stiff and unmanageable. Do not get even 1 drop of liquid or steam into chocolate. Do not overheat Chocolate - warm, NOT hot water in dbl boiler bottom. Use good quality chocolate. Light Chocolate is harder to manage than Dark Chocolate One batch makes approx. 25 to 32 truffles *Note: I use "coating" rather than REAL chocolate as it does NOT have to be tempered and you do NOT have to add wax like cheaper brands of chocolate. *( 11# @ $35.11 or $3.19 per pound from a bakery supply) Posted on FareShare 1-99 by Bev Janson <ClayCooker@aol.com> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
