This is flavor combinations you put together to create your very own recipe.
Fried Banana Foster Burrito
1 banana cut in half and sliced the long way. Place on flour tortilla, cover with light brown sugar, then put thin slices of butter on top of brown sugar. Fold like a burrito and fry a golden brown on both sides.

I came up with this one last year-- I'm making a half batch of it tomorrow in fact 
CROCK POT MEXICAN BEEF
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Line your crock pot (liners are in the aisle where foil and oven roasting bags are)
Starting out-- Turn your crock up to high or low then--> add the following to your crock:
1 Cup of your favorite salsa-- 1/2 of a 32 oz box of beef stock-- 2 beef boullion cubes
2 packets taco seasoning-- 1 Tbs chili powder-- 1 Tbs ground cumin
Stir to blend then add in: 2 lbs beef stew meat-- Stir to coat-- Put the lid on your crock and NO PEEKING for 4- 6hrs on high or 8hrs on low.
Your house will smell AMAZING!
NEXT-- this is what I do-- I get a bowl and a slotted spoon and get all the meat out of the liquid. Half of it I put in a ziploc freezer bag and freeze for another use. NOW-- you're left with lots and of really flavorful liquid.
Add-- 1 Cup of instant brown rice to the pot-- stir it up-- cover and let it hang for 20 minutes.
Once the rice is done-- add the meat back along with: 1 can rinsed black beans, 1/2 Cup thawed frozen sweet corn, 1/2 Cup more of Salsa (for a fresher salsa taste) Stir it all up and taste to see if it needs salt or maybe some tobasco.
NOW-- lemmie tell ya-- this makes some amazing burritos-- top with a bit of cheese, shredded lettuce-- some guacamole (avacados are good for ya) you can totally swap Greek yogurt for sour cream or what I do is 1/2 light sour cream and 1/2 plain fat-free Greek yogurt. Heck-- I omit the tortilla altogether and just have it in a bowl topped with stuff. Supa dupa filling, high in protein and fiber-- it makes a LOT and its VERY budget friendly! 
I use the frozen leftover beef to make a quick and awesome pot of shredded beef chili.

Banana/Walnut Baked Oatmeal Squares
GREAT BREAKFAST ON THE GO! Lightly sweet-- wholesome- filling! I created this recipe from a Baked Oatmeal recipe-- that featured applesauce instead of banana and didn't have Bisquick in it (I replaced 1/2 C of the oats with Bisquick)-- I however, really like the cake like texture it has now-- it holds together enough so you can pick up a square and eat it by hand. I have since come up with other versions: Banana/Chocolate Chip, Peaches & Cream, Cinnamon Apple, Pumpkin/Raisin, Tropical... I'm working on coming up with a Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal Square version. This recipe can also be made in a muffin tin as well...
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp cooking oil or melted coconut oil (to be extra healthy)
2-3 very ripe bananas, mashed up
1/2 Cups brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large eggs
2 1/2 Cups raw rolled or old fashioned oats
1/2 Cups Bisquick
1/2 Cup toasted walnut pieces (I lightly toast in the microwave)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 Cup milk
sugar in the raw brand turbinado sugar
Directions:
1) Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees
2) Spray a 13" x 9" pan with pan coating spray-- cover sides and bottom well.
3) In a large bowl, stir together: oil, bananas, sugar and eggs.
4) Add in dry ingredients: oats, Bisquick, baking powder, spices, walnuts-- and milk. Mix well-- be sure to break up the brown sugar and incorporate it.
5) Pour into the prepared pan
6) If desired-- I let bake for about 20 minutes-- pull out and sprinkle generously with Sugar in the Raw brand, Turbinado Sugar. (It's course and adds a nice bit of a crunch to the top!) Return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.
7) Let cool-- then cut into squares-- I make about 12 servings from one pan.
Keep leftovers in the refrigerator--lightly warm back up. I like to re-heat in my toaster oven

Eating a bowl of the Mexican beef with some cheese and light sour cream right now-- I'm skipping the tortilla-- trying to eat eat less carbs. The brown rice and beans are both complex carbs and won't spike insulin as much as simple carbs...
