A little dinner dish from Heaven...

This is an AWESOME RECIPE!

I found a recipe similar to this one, on a different blog (sorry, I don't know how to put the link to it on my blog, I apologize), but I tweaked it a little, to my families liking. It was so good and everyone ate it and even wanted leftovers for several days later.

Mexican Rice Plate with Chipotle Dressing

4 c. of cooked rice

2 pkg. taco seasoning (any brand will do)

Mix warm rice with seasoning and set aside, keeping it warm. 

4 seasoned chicken breast (cooked the way you like, grilled, baked etc...

we used Rotisserie Chicken from Day's Market in Heber, yummy!) 

Cube the chicken or cut it into pieces. 

1 can re-fried beans

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can corn, drained

shredded lettuce

shredded cheddar cheese or whatever kind you like

sliced olives

fresh tomato's, diced

sour cream

tortilla chips (or strips), crumbled

Special Chipotle Dressing:

1 c. homemade ranch (can used bottled, but homemade is always better)

10 shakes of any kind of hot sauce (we used Franks)

1/2 t. cumin (can't leave out!)

a few squeezes of lime juice (fresh or bottled, adjust the ingredient to your taste)

Heat re-fried beans. In another sauce pan heat black beans and corn. While all the ingredients are heating, combine ingredients for dressing. 

This recipe is a "layer your own" kind of recipe. Some of my family put their food in a 

bowl, layering it, and some of them layered it on a plate. It works great either way. Begin layering with the re-fried beans, cheese, rice, chicken, lettuce, tomato's, olives, black beans/corn mixture, a little bit more cheese, tortilla chips and Special Chipotle dressing. 

This has become a family favorite and I am sure we will make it many times to come! Let me know if you try it and how you like it.
