Aztecan Delight

What do you do if your kids don't like rice, corn, beans or tomatoes?

Make Aztecan Delight! (I chose the name because my husband's heritage is Aztecan Indian, but you could name it anything you want!)

All you need are:

1 can of black beans
1 can of corn
1 can of diced tomatoes
Cooked rice
Little bit of beef broth for flavor

Mix up all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan until heated through and incorporated well. Roll it up in a tortilla and call it Aztecan Delight. The pickiest eaters might balk at it's innards so don't let them unroll it!

As an a nutritional side, this meal has complete protein from the beans, corn and rice. No meat needed :) You could add cheese though.

Sometimes just giving a plain old meal a fun, imaginative name makes them a little hungrier...

This sounds great! I will have to try it. I know a couple of mine probably would pitch a fit about the black beans, but I know I would like it!
