Good Eat'n

I love getting new recipes and I love making up my own. So for all those who want something new here are some super scrumptious recipes concocted by yours truly.

Smokey Southwestern rice wraps
4 strips bacon
1 clove garlic, pressed

1 3/4 cup water
1 cup corn
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies

2 green onions, chopped
5-6 tortillas (I like the ones from Costco that you have to cook)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can refried beans
Cook bacon till crispy. Drain grease and set bacon aside. In same skillet add garlic till it sizzles. Add water and rice. scrap pan to get all the bits up. cook until water is mostly absorbed. Add corn, tomatoes, seasoning, crumbled bacon and onions. Simmer till water is gone. Layer refried beans, rice and cheese inside tortillas. Top with remaining cheese and bake, covered for about 20 minutes. Soooo Yummy!
