Freezer Food Friday 7/15/11

One of the things that is very important to me is to make sure that my fridge and freezer is stocked with food so that if something were to ever happen to our jobs, I knew that we ALWAYS had food to eat and that was one less thing we had to worry about at that moment.  So that is one of the reasons why my recent power outage issue, causing me to throw everything in my fridge and freezer away, upset me so much.  My food safety net is gone.

With Freezer Food Friday I am going to post a recipe that can be made partially or in it’s entirety and then frozen to use at a later time.  Having your freezer stocked with meals makes life so much easier…and who doesn’t like easy from time to time?!?

So enjoy the recipe below!  If you decide to make it, be sure to leave me a comment letting me know how you and your family enjoyed it!

• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 TBS Olive Oil
• 4 Chicken breasts cooked and diced
• 2 (15oz) cans of Black Beans, drained and rinsed
• 24oz jar of Salsa (I like the chunky kind!)
• 1 cup Taco Sauce
• 8 Tortillas
• 1 cup Sour Cream
• 2 cups Colby Cheese or Taco Cheese

Directions:

1.  Mix chicken, salsa, and black beans.
2. In a 2 quart baking dish, pour the taco sauce on the bottom.
3. Lay 4 tortillas on top of the taco sauce.
4. Top with part of the chicken mixture.
5. Spoon on small dollops of sour cream and sprinkle with a little cheese.
6. Lay 4 more tortillas on top of the chicken mixture, sour cream and cheese.
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5.
