I am that over coming up with dinner ideas lately it is a complete joke.  So when the HOTH pointed this recipe out in a magazine a few weeks ago I was all over it!!  

I cooked plain chicken for the kids and gave them rice without coriander.  I had brought them some bread rolls but they ended up eating the tortillas!!  So next time I make it I will be adding some frozen veg in with the rice and buying an extra pack of tortillas!!  

I call this a winning meal as it was easy, quick and we all ate it (which is rare)!!

  2. How good are burritos. We often have tacos for dinner at Mum's as it's the one thing that everyone will love, even Punky, who has become the pickiest of eaters lately. We have been telling Mum we should have burritos one night so I might have to show her this coz it sounds delish!
