Simple Fare, Fairly Simple

This recipe came about as I was lying in bed one night thinking of what to have for dinner the next day. I think supplies were getting low but I knew I had chicken in the freezer and some tortillas in the fridge. As I am not one to run to the grocery store every day, it dawned on me that we would be having something with chicken and tortillas. As a side, I fried up some tortillas for chips so I wouldn't have to run to the store (see comment above) to buy chips. And really, who doesn't love homemade chips, anyway. Along with the chips, was a luscious bean dip. Overall, a successful dinner. Plus I didn't have to go to the store!! Yay, me!

I always keep them on hand 
for throw-together dinners like this.
