2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1 can whole corn kernels, drained
1 package spanish rice
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes as called for with rice
1 jar salsa
2 packages flour tortillas ( medium size)
hot sauce (optional)
cheese for topping (optional)

Prepare the rice according to the package. In a large bowl mix chicken, corn, 3/4 jar of salsa, rice and several dashes of hot sauce. Fill each tortilla with 1-2 scoops roll and place with fold tucked underneath in a casserole dish. When dish is full start filling a second dish that you can freeze for another time. Spread the remaining salsa on top on the tortillas and top with cheese ( do not top the meal you are freezing, do that just before you bake it). Cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted.

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
black pepper
salt
3/4 cup white wine ( may substitute with chicken stock)
2 cups chicken stock
2 10 oz boxes frozen peas
1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped or 2 tablespoons dried flakes
1 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Cook pasta according to directions, reserve 1/2 cup starchy liquid.
In a large skillet heat EVOO with garlic slices over medium heat.
Once the garlic is brown remove with a slotted spoon and let rest on paper towels.
Turn heat up to high and add red pepper flakes, onions, thyme, salt and a little pepper.
Cook stirring frequently for 5 minutes or until onions become tender and browned.
Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes, add the chicken stock and cook for 2 more minutes.
Add the peas and starchy cooking liquid and bring to a boil. With the back of a spoon mash about half of the peas. Add the parsley and garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add pasta, toss to coat and top with cheese.
