CHICKEN, RICE, AND BEAN BURRITOS



Chicken, Rice, and Bean Burritos image

This is a recipe I found on a cooking blog, The Sister's Dish. These burritos are so easy to make! Once I made them, we LOVED them, and it's a keeper in our house. I have used Pace medium picante sauce in them, and I have also used Mexican-style Rotel (drained), and they were both good. For the rice, I usually make the Quick Spanish Rice recipe on here (#17126), use a cup for the burritos, and then I just serve the rest as a side dish. Hope you like them!

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (15-ounce) can refried beans
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup of your favorite salsa (any kind should do fine)
1 (5-ounce) can diced green chilies
1 cup frozen corn kernels (thawed)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese plus another 1/2 cup or more for topping (omit for vegan version)
12-10- inch flour tortillas*
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
1/2-1 teaspoon ground cumin (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
Salsa
Sour cream or cashew sour cream
Guacamole
Diced tomatoes
Diced avocados
Fresh cilantro
Sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the refried beans, brown rice, salsa, chilies, corn, and 1 cup cheese. If adding chicken to half, move 3 cups of the mix to a separate medium bowl, add the chicken, and stir. If making a vegan filling (without cheese), add 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
  • If the tortillas don't seem pliable (likely to rip when you bend/roll them), place tortillas on a large plate and cover with a damp dishtowel. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to steam the tortillas.
  • One at a time, lay the tortillas flat and place 1/3 cup filling just below the center. Fold in the sides of the tortilla so that they nearly touch, then bring up the bottom of the tortilla, pulling the contents tight, rolling the burrito from the bottom upl, and keeping the sides tucked as you go. For more guidance, here's a terrific piece from The Kitchn on how to roll a burrito.
  • Lay the burritos side by side in a 9-inch x 13-inch pan (or, if you're making a meaty version and a vegetarian version, keep them segregated by using two 8-inch by 8-inch pans).
  • Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese over the top (omit for vegan version) and bake for about 20 minutes, until heated through, cheese is melted, and they're starting to turn golden brown. Serve.
