Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----CHICKEN FILLING-----
1 lg Plump chicken breast
1/2 c Celery (tops and tender,
-inside stalks)
1/2 md White onion
2 Or 3 peppercorns
2 tb Olive oil
1 Red pepper
1 Yellow pepper
1 1/2 lg Red onions
1/2 c Chopped cilantro leaves
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
-----BEAN FILLING-----
1 lb Bag of pinto beans (red or
-pink)
8 c Water
Salt to taste
1/4 Onion
1/4 c Olive oil

Poach chicken with celery tops, onions and
peppercorns. Cook for about 15 minutes. Let cool and
remove skin. When chicken is skinned, slice or shred,
then saute with olive oil in wok or large skillet
until barely browned around the edges. Next add red
and yellow peppers and red onions. Toss and saute for
about 10 minutes. Watch closely so that peppers don't
go limp. Add cilantro leaves. Remove from heat. Add
salt and pepper to taste. Combine with beans (see
below). Place in tortillas, top with salsa and serve.

Cook beans in water for approximately 1 1/2 hours on
medium heat.

Make sure that beans are completely covered in water.
Stir occasionally. Beans will absorb liquid and become
soft. Add more water if needed. Add salt when beans
are thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat. Add chopped
onion. (Onions will cook from the heat of the beans.)
Drizzle with olive oil. Let sit.

TORTILLAS: Warm six large flour tortillas in microwave
on high (in large zip lock bag to preserve moisture)
for about 30 seconds.

SALSA: Two large, peeled and chopped tomatoes.

Serves 4.
