Southwestern Egg Rolls (chicken, corn, bean burritos) with Avocado Sauce
This recipe is from my friend Kaylene and it's so yummy!
2 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed (one chicken breast is fine and pork works too!)
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
2 T green onion, sliced (opt)
1 can or 1 C frozen or canned corn
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can diced green chiles
1 t cumin
1/2 t chili powder
1/2 t salt
Dash of cayenne pepper
2 C shredded cheddar
Flour tortillas
Avocado Dipping Sauce:
1 C ranch
1 avocado, pitted and mashed
1 lime, juiced
Salt, pepper, cayenne to taste
Put chicken in a large bowl, add corn, beans, seasonings, cheese, bell pepper, green onions, and green chiles. Slightly warm the tortillas to make them easier to roll. Place a portion of the filling into each tortilla and roll as tightly as possible. Spray a large jellyroll pan or baking stone and place the chicken rolls an inch apart from each other. Brush the tops with butter and bake at 400 until golden (20 min?). Puree the sauce ingredients until smooth. Serve sauce with chicken rolls.
This makes plenty if I use regular-sized flour tortillas. This last time I used the big, burrito tortillas and they worked well, but you have fewer of them because they are so big, but you can cut them in half or double the filling recipe.

Coconut Curry Chicken
I got this from my friend Laura at a dinner party where we all shared favorite dishes. This one is really good.
1 T olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 t salt
2 T curry powder
14-oz can coconut milk
1 c canned, diced tomatoes (or crushed)
2 T tomato paste
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
3 C packed spinach or chopped cauliflower (opt)
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and salt and saute over medium for about 7 minutes, until translucent. Add the curry powder and saute for an additional minute, until the spice fully coats the onion.
Incorporate the coconut milk, tomatoes, and tomato paste into the mixture. Stir occasionally for 5 minutes, until sauce slightly thickens. Fold in the chicken and summer for 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through.
Stir the spinach into the mixture and cook for 3 minutes or until wilted. Or stir in chopped cauliflower, cook until softened.
Good on rice or quinoa.

Instant Pot Peanut Chicken with Vegetables
Adapted from Feasting at Home by Sylvia Fountaine
Serves 4-6 adults
1 t oil
3 cloves garlic
1 T fresh ginger, chopped (or some shakes of ground ginger)
1 can coconut milk (not light)
3 T soy sauce
3 T honey
2 T lime juice
1 T chili garlic paste (or sriracha or Cholula)
1.5 lbs chicken tenders (can cut in pieces or put in whole)
1/2 C Adams Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 10 oz. bag of Birds Eye Roasted Red Potato Blend with Broccoli, Carrots, & Red Pepper, lightly cooked (or similar)
Cilantro
Heat oil in Instant Pot on saute setting. Add garlic, heat for a couple minutes. Add coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, hot sauce, and chicken. Run Instant Pot on manual mode for 10-11 minutes. Stir in peanut butter and cooked vegetables. Return to saute mode and let boil, while stirring, to reduce, if necessary. Serve with cilantro over rice.
This was so good! Tasted a lot like Zao or other restaurants, even a little like Massaman Curry. I cooked the vegetables to have separately, but I'm so glad I put them in.
