Time 1h

Yield Serves 4 (1.5 burritos per person)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 red or white onion, or 4 spring onions, chopped
400g mixed vegetables of your choice (we used carrots, red pepper and sweetcorn)
200g leftover chicken, chopped into small chunks
2 x 250g packs ready-cooked lime & coriander rice
400g can red kidney beans in chilli sauce
6 large wraps
1 avocado, chopped
100g grated cheddar
1 egg, beaten
soured cream, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins until soft, then add your chosen veggies and continue cooking for another 5-10 mins or until tender. Add the leftover meat, the rice and beans, along with the sauce from the can. Stir everything together and cook for 5 mins until piping hot.
  • Heat another frying pan, or a griddle pan, until hot, and heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 2. Now assemble the burritos. Warm a wrap for 10 secs on the hot pan (keep the pan hot, you'll need to use it again).
  • Pile roughly a sixth of the rice mixture onto the centre of the wrap. Top with a little avocado and some cheese, then brush beaten egg around the edge. Fold the ends over the filling, then fold in the sides, like an envelope.
  • Flatten a little to a parcel, then place, seam-side down, in the hot pan. Cook for 2 mins until the underside has sealed shut and is toasted a golden brown, flip over and cook for a few mins more.
  • Keep the burrito warm in the oven while you continue assembling and cooking the remaining burritos. Serve with soured cream, if you like.

Tips:

  • Prep your chicken in advance: Marinate the chicken overnight or for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help infuse it with flavor and make it more tender.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your burritos taste their best. Look for ripe avocados, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomatoes.
  • Don't overload the burritos: Be careful not to overfill the burritos, or they will be difficult to roll and eat. Aim for a filling that is about 1/2 cup per burrito.
  • Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cheese. You can also add a side of rice or beans.

Conclusion:

Barbecue chicken burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
