In my house, I currently have steaks & chicken, red pepper, and asparagus. I have a variety of other ingredients like pasta, rice, beans, chipoltes, & tortillas.

Anyone have a good idea of what I can make? I'm not feeling very creative. It may all just get grilled. I just feel like I need some inspiration!

How about some sort of enchilada dish? You could use either the chicken or beef, shred it or cut it into small pieces, then saute with red pepper, chipotles, chili powder, other spices or garlic/onion and even asparagus if you are feeling adventurous. Add beans and/or rice and you have an enchilada filling.
I sometimes cheat on enchiladas and make the spicy meat filling, then spread it in a 9X13 pan, top with a layer of tortillas and a sprinkle of cheese. I then bake the casserole until heated through. I serve it with salsa, spicy for a mild filling and mild for, yes, a spicy filling. This works best with corn tortillas.
Flour ones can be rolled with the meat mixture and a little yogurt to keep it moist, then baked.
Let us know what you decide to make.
