Baked Taquitos

Ingredients:
24 fresh flour tortillas
1 medium sweet potato
1 can of black beans
8 chicken breast tenderloins or 2-3 chicken breasts
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons taco seasoning (store bought or see recipe below)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup water

Instructions:
Place chicken breasts, water and taco seasoning in crock pot for 4-6 hours on low (4 hours if fresh or 6 hours if frozen). During the last hour of cooking shred the chicken and place back in crock pot.

Peel and cut sweet potato into small pieces and microwave for 4-6 minutes or until soft. Spread sweet potatoes onto a foil lined baking sheet and toss with salt, pepper and cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mix sweet potatoes and black beans together in a small bowl. Warm a few tortillas at a time in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Put a small amount of chicken, sweet potatoes, black beans and cheese on the bottom 1/3 of the tortilla and roll tightly. Place all taquitos in a foil lined baking dish and spray with cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Serve with salsa, guacamole or plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream). Makes 24 taquitos.

Balsamic Pork Tenderloin

I got my initial idea for this recipe from Let's Dish and changed just a few ingredients.

Ingredients:
1-2lb pork tenderloin (if using frozen, cook 8 hours in the crock pot)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon Trader Joe's South African Smoke (or 1/4 teaspoon basil and paprika)
1/2 cup water

Glaze:
1/4 cup balsamic glaze
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey

Instructions:
Place pork tenderloin in crock pot. Rub garlic, salt, cumin, pepper and Smoke seasoning onto pork. Add 1/2 cup water surrounding the pork. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Mix balsamic glaze, soy sauce and honey together in a bowl. During the last hour of cooking baste the glaze on the pork every 10-15 minutes. Remove from crock pot and let rest a few minutes. Slice and enjoy!
