I've been looking around online for some recipes, and I've come across some but some days I'm lazy and don't feel like putting that extra effort to make a great dish! Haha.

If there are any food combinations that even are easy to prepare that would be great, but any recipe sounds good to me. :)

If anyone has their diary open, or is willing to share I'd love to see it. I get tired of eating the same things. :P

    Chicken Burritos - 6 serves

    500g chicken breast, chopped in small cubes
    1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
    400g can Mexican-flavoured baked beans or chilli beans
    3 large or 6 small flour tortillas (or use tacos)
    2 cups finely-sliced lettuce leaves
    3 spring onions, sliced thinly
    3/4 cup grated Edam cheese
    300g jar tomato salsa

    Step 1 Heat oil in a frying pan. Add chicken and cook, stirring all the time. Add beans and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Be sure to stir to stop it sticking to the bottom of the pan.

    Step 2 Warm tortillas in microwave (or wrap in foil and heat for 5 minutes in oven at 170ºC). Lay them flat on a board or bench and divide chicken mixture among them. Spread mixture out in a rectangle in the middle of each tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce, spring onions and cheese.

    Step 3 Fold into a rectangular parcel. Decorate with salsa. Serve.
