Having a huge family means that you often seem to be short of time. Preparation for the evening meal usually appears to take so lengthy. With this in mind I have a couple of simple recipes idea's that while simple are wholesome and fantastic tasting.

1) Chicken Tortillas

You will must buy from your local Leonards or similar chicken provider and purchase a kilo of their chicken stir fry (my favorite is chicken satay) - this saves a heap of time as you may now only must fry it up. Whilst there buy a packet of tortillas, a lettuce, tomato and cheese if you have none at home.

Heat a pan and add the chicken. Whilst the chicken is cooking, quickly chop up the lettuce and tomato and heat the tortillas in the microwave for thirty seconds. Put them all out on the table. By this time the chicken will likely be down. Put into a bowl and serve on the table. Permit the family to create up their own tortillas - helping out younger children under five. Put a tortilla on your plate and location a row of chicken centrally. Next I add the cheese to ensure that it'll melt. I then put the tomato (sliced, then sliced in half again) and lastly the lettuce. Then just roll up your tortillas and take pleasure in. The clean up is not difficult, several plates, bowls along with a 1 frying pan.

2) Haystacks

Along the same theme as tortillas but using cream and nachos instead of chicken and tortillas. As soon as once more you'll need the salad ingredients of lettuce and tomato, and cheese ( preferably half morzarella).

Get your favorite can of Mexican beans - we usually use beef and chili beans. heat them up in a saucepan.

Get a large pizza dish and lay them a bed of nachos chips. Pour a great deal of grate cheese on leading - should you use mozzarella it is going to help maintain the chips together. Location under a grill. When cheese is melted (and prior to the nachos burn) remove. You serve out the nachos and cheese, put on the hot beans, and then tomato, lettuce, and/or sour cream as the individual likes. (you'll be able to skip the lettuce should you want). Tastes great.

Clean up - serving plates, one pot and one pizza dish.

three) Baked Bean Buns

This recipe is even simpler still. Cut a Hamburger bun in half. Cook a can of baked beans in a pot on the stove. When hot spoon beans onto the bun, put cheese on top - place under griller. Enjoy!One pot only to clean plus plates. Extra tip - Use aluminum foil usually when grilling - saves cleaning melted cheese out of the oven.

These meals are easy and tasty. In case you are looking for a low calorie choice, use low fat cheese.
