This morning I took a chance and put a frozen chicken (whole) in the crock-pot and hoped it would be cooked by dinner. I am happy to say that yes, it was fully cooked and deliciously moist. For seasoning, I used a Weber bar-b-que citrus seasoning packet mixed with orange juice.
When it was time for dinner, I pulled all of the meat off of the carcass (not something I typically like doing) and put it on a plate. I warmed up a pouch of my favorite RED refried beans directly home from Honduras and served both on a flour tortilla with a generous sprinkle of cheese. In Honduras it would have been slices of a white, mozzarella-like cheese. These flavors together reminded me of a staple in the Honduran meal:
- tortillas (freshly made corn tortillas)
- frijoles rojo (refried red beans)
- queso (cheese)
While in Honduras we ate it for breakfast one day, lunch on several occasions and also had them for dinner. They are delicious! And so, I sought to roughly re-create it for my family. I expect that someday soon I'll learn to make the corn tortillas, but for now, flour is just fine with my family.
And after this quickie meal, I still had energy to clean the kitchen!
