Coke Chicken Burros

My husband took one bite and said, "What is in this?"
At first I thought, oh no...he hates it!
Boy was I wrong.
He said, "These are so freaking good!"
Guess we'll have to make them again, and again, and again!

Coke Chicken
2 large chicken breasts
1 can coke or vanilla coke
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 jar salsa verde

Cook chicken in crock pot on high for 2 hours. Shred. Then add coke, brown sugar, and salsa. Cook for another hour. Roll in a flour tortilla with cheese and sour cream. So good! Enjoy! It would also be yummy on top of chips.

Manicotti Roll Ups

Don't these look delish?????
It's a different spin on an old fav.
Manicotti is one of our favorite dishes and I'm always trying to find ways to make our favorite foods easier. I'm pretty sure I succeeded and it was a hit. I actually think I prefer them like this.

Manicotti Roll Ups
10 lasagna noodles cooked as directed
1 small container ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 mushrooms washed and diced into small pieces
1/2 zucchini washed and diced into small pieces
handful of parsley chopped
1/2 c. shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 jar Marinara sauce ( I prefer Ragu)

Saute mushrooms and zucchini with 1 Tablespoon of butter. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, and half the cheese. Add mushrooms and zucchini and mix. Spread mixture onto lasagna noodles and roll up. In a 9x13 pan, pour a little marinara sauce on the bottom of the pan then place the roll up on top. Pour the rest of the marinara sauce on to roll up and sprinkle remaining cheeses on top. You may want to use more if you'd like. Bake at 400 degrees, 12-15 minutes.
