THE PURPLE COW

THE PURPLE COW

by: Gelett Burgess (1866-1951)
NEVER saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

I did this first time in 3rd grade . It was very spooky at the time to stand up

in my class room.

Quote by~Kahlil Gibran
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

1/2 cup onion, chopped

1/4 cup (or less) cilantro, minced

3 cans black beans (low sodium preferred)

2 cans Rotel (one original and one extra spicy)

1can Mexi-corn (regular corn will do)

2 tablespoons cooking oil

2 fresh medium banana peppers, chopped (optional)

1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped (optional)

1 pinch garlic salt (optional)

flour/corn tortillas Chop vegetables into bite-size pieces

Heat oil in a Dutch oven.
