Chimichangas, from American Cannon
3 cups raw chicken, chopped


2 T butter

1 cup onion, finely chopped

1 cup celery, finely chopped

1 T flour

1/4 t garlic powder

1/4 t cumin

1 t seasoned salt

BLACK BEAN PORK

Roll pork in flour or corn starch and fry in wok (or in a large skillet over HIGH heat) with 2 tablespoons of oil for about two minutes. Remove. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and vegetables. Stir-fry any vegetables that you like for about two minutes, again at very High heat. Add pork and mixture I provided with 2 tablespoons of water (more or less depending on consistency you like). Cook until everything is coated.

If you want to borrow our wok, just let me know. I think that it makes it much better. Actually, I have never tried it in a skillet, but I hear you just have to make it really hot.

Chicken Pot Pies

Chicken Pot Pies:
I sent the crusts and the filling separately so the crust won't get soggy.
Just place one crust in 9" pie pan and load in the filling.Place the second crust on top and seal edges. Cut small slits on top and bake at 425 for 30-40 minutes. During the last 10 minutes you may want to put foil on edges of crust to prevent burning.

Recipe:
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 3/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup milk
21/2 cup shredded chicken (i used rotisserie)
2 cups frozen veggie mix

Melt butter in sauce pan, add onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add in f lour, it will be very thick. Slowly add in milk and chicken stock. Bring to bubbly boil. It will thicken this point. Add in veggies and chicken. Load mixture into pie crust and bake.

Hope you enjoy!
