Easy recipe for two 13 year old girls to make for dinner??

(i'm having a movie night and peeps mite get hungary so left overs are good!!!) we prefer somthing mexican but italian or anthing else is good too!!!Easy recipe for two 13 year old girls to make for dinner??
I would definitely recommend ';homemade'; pizza and a big salad....buy pre-made pizza crusts from the grocery store (you can get them refrigerated or vacuum-packed--like Boboli), get a few cans or jars of pizza sauce, some pre-shredded mozzarella or ';Italian cheese blend,'; and whatever toppings you like (diced pepperoni is WAY better than the thin slices, and I like canned mushrooms better than fresh). After you put together the pizzas (which is fun and easy), they take about 10 minutes to bake. During that time, you can throw together a few bags of lettuce, some chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, and Italian dressing. Voila....everyone loves pizza!Easy recipe for two 13 year old girls to make for dinner??
Here are some things I and the fam have had recently and loved

TRUE MEXICAN TORTILLAS





3 cups water


1/2 tsp. baking powder


1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil or lard


2 pounds flour


1 teaspoon salt





Heat the water, baking powder, vegetable oil or lard, and salt until it's hot, but just not too hot, just hot enough so that you can touch the water and not be burned.


In a large bowl, pour in the water mixture and add the flour a little-bit at a time until you are finished with the remaining flour. Make sure to mix the water mixture and flour together well. You should have a smooth and elastic dough. Do not use a machine to mix the dough (use your hands).





After mixing the ingredients, cover the dough and refrigerate for about 15 minutes. (This will make the dough easier to work with).





Then take out the dough and heat up a ';comal';, or if you don't have one, simply use a pan. A cast iron skillet works well.





While the pan is heating up, start rolling the tortillas. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on the rolling surface so that the tortillas won't stick.





After they are made, start cooking them. When done, keep them warm in foil paper, or like it's done in Mexico, with a soft towel.





Good luck with this recipe. This will show if you have a little Mexican in you.

Chicken Alfredo





2 boneless skinless chicken breasts


1 jar of Alfredo sauce


Spaghetti noodles





This is a pretty quick recipe so start boiling the noodles first.


Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Cook in olive oil or margarine/butter until done. Add Alfredo sauce and heat thoroughly. When noodles are done, drain them and serve alfredo sauce on top.


**If you want you can add some fresh garlic, salt, or parmesan cheese to boost the flavor a bit.

1 lb ground meat


1 (15oz) jar of pizza sauce


1 (12 oz) bag of egg noddles

Put the meat and noodles in a large mixing bowl (or back in the pan you boiled the noodles in to save on dishes) and add pizza sauce and 1/2 bag of cheese. Mix well and pour into a greased 9x13 ( I use Pam spray) Top with the rest of the cheese and bake it in a 350* oven for 20- 25 minutes. Serve





Poor Mans Stroganoff (this isn't really a casserole but it is cheap and good)





1 lb or so ground meat

Brown the meat and drain off grease. Add sour cream and condensed soup (no milk) heat thoroughly and serve over cooked noodles or rice.
