yields 5 1 cup servings

1  cup freeze dried chicken slices

1/4 cup freeze dried onions

1 cup instant rice (white or brown)

1/4 cup freeze dried green chilies
½ cup tomato sauce

1 cup instant black beans (or instant pinto beans work great too)

1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon of chili powder

3 tablespoon of olive oil  

5 cups water

Add as toppings after cooking

Jar Directions:  Layer ingredients in a wide mouthed, quart-sized jar, shaking the dry powder ingredients into the bulkier items. Top with an oxygen packet (300 cc) for longer-term storage, or seal with a food saver.  Cover with a new canning lid and hand-tighten the metal ring. 

This really does fit in a quart sized mason jar.  It is a tight fit to measure accurately and tap the jar  on a counter top to help the ingredients settle.

Cooking Instructions:

Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large sauce pan.  Add contents of jar and saute for 30 seconds.   Be careful don’t burn it.  Add 5 cups water and simmer 5 min. Remove from heat and cover for 10 minutes.
