We had a great tortilla supper tonight. I browned about 10 boneless skinless chicken breasts in butter in iron skillets until they were golden brown.
I then made a bit of gravy with flour and the drippings left in the pans and poured that and some water over the chicken breasts. Then I added two cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles and fresh ground pepper.
I covered the pan of chicken breasts with aluminum foil and put them in to bake at 350 for a couple of hours.
Meanwhile, I put 6 cans of black beans into a large crockpot and added one large onion that had been chopped and sauteed in olive oil. I also added about half a cup of taco seasoning to the black beans.
After a couple of hours the chicken breasts were tender enough to just tear apart with a fork. After tearing up all the chicken, the entire contents of the above pan were dumped into the large crockpot with the black bean mixture. This made a delicious tortilla filling!
Table set with all the fixins: cream cheese, shredded cheddar, lettuce and tortillas.
I also tried a new bread recipe today. I had been wanting a good recipe for bread machine parmesan bread and I found one here. It turned out very well.
It was really good dipped in the bean and chicken dish! So I had one tortilla and one piece of bread.

Love your blue dishes! They’d go great with mine!

Hannah, I love the blue dishes too! We mostly use simple white dishes, but when I am home from work in the evenings, it seems so special, I have been using the blue ones.
Oh, my favorite dishes are some bowls with designs similar to the blue plates but they are pink and white. My sister and her husband lived in Germany for a few years (I know Germany is close to your heart) and my sister brought me back some very pretty things. They had some great flea-market type places there that she would shop at.

PS – chipped blue and white dishes make GREAT mosaic birdbaths!
Lynn,
You and I were on the same page for dinner last night. We also had chicken fajitas. I call it fun food. I like having fun food on nights I am off from work. The bread you made looked great also. Have you ever baked a spicy bread to go with your tortilla dinner?
Demeca
Yum ~O! I love black beans, sometimes I just open a can and serve over brown rice and maybe add a little salsa. These tortillas sound really good, as does the bread, I love trying out new bread recipes!
Demeca, it is definitely a fun food! I have not made a spicy bread, but I bet a bread with jalepenos would be great! Like the one we used to have at the store. I’ll try it!
Lady Laurie, black beans are my favorite beans I think. Well, I love pintos, and many dried beans, but I love black beans.
