Spanish Rice

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 clove garlic, minced (sub garlic powder if needed)
1 T cooking oil
1 28-oz can tomatoes (I like to use two cans of Italian diced tomatoes from Walmart, since they are already flavored and chopped fine)
3/4 cup long grain rice
1 t sugar
1 t chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet cook onion, green pepper, and garlic in oil till tender but not brown. Stir in undrained tomatoes, rice, sugar, chili powder, pepper/salt (hot sauce - optional) and 1 cup water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 mins or till rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese if desired. (Better Homes CB)

1 and 1/2 c. shredded cooked chicken
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions

6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
2 tbsp. melted butter (Optional, use butter flavored spray to reduce calorie count)

Mix all but last 2 ingredients together. Warm tortillas and place 1/2 cup
chicken mixture in center of each tortilla. Fold sides over filling. Roll
up from bottom and place seam side down on greased baking sheet. Brush
with butter covering all exposed tortilla (or non-stick cooking spray). Bake at 375 for 30-40 min (Cover until the last 10 minutes if you don't want it so crispy).
