Hello.. Anyone out there?
Today I have a recipe that will be very helpful in preparing ahead for several meals. I can see this being used for tacos, enchiladas and other Mexican meals.
Post your recipe on your blog ( or leave it in the comments if you do not have a blog) and link it below. I will be around to see your offering.
Feel free to leave a comment even if you do not have a recipe to share.

crisp-tender. Pour over chicken and mix well. Cool for 30 minutes.
Divide mixture among three freezer containers; cover and freeze for
up to 3 months. Thaw before using. Yield: 6 cups.
