This one falls under the ‘Otherwise’ category.

I made dinner the other night, and I had a taste for Mexican food. I threw together some stuff we had laying around, and the end result looked like an envelope, and was very good.

You will need:
- a #3 Burrito Tortilla (the big ones)
- 1 cubic inch of cream cheese
- 1 chicken breast, thawed
- a handful of shredded taco cheese
- a bunch of your favorite salsa, the less watery the better

How to make it:
- preheat oven to 375 degrees (Fahrenheit, please… :-) )
- spread the cream cheese in the center of the tortilla to the size of a postcard
- flatten the chicken to the size of a postcard by putting plastic wrap and using a mallet (this isn’t therapy time, take it easy or you’ll pulverize the meat)
- put the chicken on your bed of cream cheese, cover with cheese and salsa.
- fold the tortilla up around your postcard-sized pile of stuff, short sides first
- turn over and put on a cookie sheet. This keeps it closed while it cooks. (turn over slowly, do your Risky Business impression and you’ll fling ingredients)
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is done. The tortilla will turn a nice brown, too.

Tip: don’t use the side of your fork to cut bites off, use a knife. The melted cream cheese makes everything too slippery for something that dull to cleanly cut it…

Have at it, let me know if you like it, or if you add anything in there that works out
