I decided i'd post dinners i've made..especially ones that turn out and jeremy likes:) Tonight was a five star. You see, I made Jeremy rate my dishes with stars. 1 star being, gross, I can't even eat this sh*t. 2 stars being, this is okay, but i'm only eating it so you won't cry. 3 stars, this is good, but I really wouldn't care if you made it again. 4 starts, oh, now this is nice, you could make this again. 5 stars, WOW, amazing, make this again or i'll die. yea, that pretty much sums it up.
anyway..tonight was Cuban Chicken Pizza. Delicious and easy. All you need... a rotisserrie chicken (seriously, makes cooking dinner quick and easy), shredded. one 11 oz. can corn, drained (or 1 cup frozen corn, thawed.) 1/2 tsp. cumin seed (eyeball it like Rachael Ray says!!-seriously, who needs measuring spoons!!) 1 can black beans, rinsed & drained. 1 clove garlic, minced. 1 lime(i know you're tempted to skip this, but don't, it really throws in alotta flavor). 1 cup grated pepperjack cheese. 4 8-inch flour tortillas. some fresh cilantro chopped up.
so here you go. preheat the ole oven to about 350. coat your baking pans with cooking spray. bake tortillas in oven for about 10 minutes until brown and crispy on the edges. in the meantime.... coat your large skillet with nonstick cooking spray... and "char" your corn for about 5 minutes...toss in your cumin seeds and stir for about 30 seconds to "toast" them seeds. Add in your beans, garlic, and chicken and cook another 2 minutes or so until heated through. remove from heat and squeeze in fresh lime juice....and stir.
Your tortillas are probably all crispy now *yum*. stack and press down to flatten tortillas (they get a little puffy in the cooker).... spoon about 1 cup on each "pizza" and then top with as much cheese as you like... pop in the cooker for about 2 minutes until cheese is melty, then throw on some cilantro. waaaa-laaaaaa. jeremy threw on some Tapatio on his....i thought it was fine on its own:)
anyway..that's all for tonight.
ps... i wish i could say i came up with this on my own..but my inspiration came from an old cooking light my mom had from 2004. i'm going vintage with my cooking...:)

Beautiful food. I wanted to eat it off the computer screen. Good thing it wasn't scratch and sniff because then Nathan would have had to buy a new monitor.
You know that I am going to steal this little dish. Thanks for inspiration. Hopefully I will equal amounts of stars from Andrew. And I imagine Myra will love the "cooking show"!
First of all, Hi! I'm glad I found your blog. Second, this is just the kind of dish Bobby would flip out over. and Third, your Star Rating system is hil-larry-us!
Uh just wanted you to know I served up a single star dish tonight. It was so bad I just started laughing and told Nate he didn't have to eat it. Later I told him I couldn't tell if I was going to throw up or if it was just the after taste. Haha. Oh well you win some and lose some.But just a word of wisdom. If you find yourself trying to save something from tasting bad throw it away immediately and go out to eat.
