Mexican Stir Fry

One day I had nothing planned and was kind of missing any inpiration on what to make.  So I hit the freezer and kind of stared for a while till something hit me in the toe.  This is what came out.
Origin: Duff's head

Ingredients:
  1. 1 cup frozen corn
  2. 1/2 bag of frozen tater tots or hash browns
  3. 1 can of refried beans
  4. 1/4-1/2 cup milk
  5. 1 can cooked chicken
  6. shredded cheese
  7. sour cream
In a frying pan cook tater tots and corn with your oil of choice.  A little taco seasoning or chili powder can't hurt.  Once cooked where the tater tots are soft add the refried beans and milk and cook till thoroughly mixed.  Add chicken (undrained) to mixture and cook for several more minutes. 
Serve in a bowl or torilla with cheese and/or sour cream.

This was a mind bender at the time but is is amazingly simple and really quick.  It is full of nutritional goodness with a good balance of carbs and protein.  It is missing the greens but you can put it on top of a salad and make it a Mexican Stir Fry Tostada.  Eitherway, Rae did not aske for seconds she told me she was getting seconds shortly after her first bite.  What a complement.
