BLACK BEAN CHICKEN BURRITOS
I try to hide as many veggies as possible in these burritos. Another way I bump up the nutrition level is by using thinly sliced cabbage instead of regular iceberg lettuce. The filling freezes well, so double the recipe! -Jeni Pittard, Statham, Georgia

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.

Steps:
- Add the tomatoes, chipotle pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and salt to a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.

- In a medium bowl, stir together the rice, lime zest and juice, and cilantro.
- Assemble burritos: Place a tortilla on a work surface. Scoop about ¾ cup of the rice onto the lower third of the tortilla. Top with ¼ of the chicken, ¼ cup Monterey Jack cheese, a scoop of pico de gallo, some avocado, and a scoop of sour cream. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, fold in the sides, then continue rolling the burrito up. Slice in half on the diagonal. Repeat to make the remaining burritos.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your burritos will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your chicken and vegetables with plenty of salt and pepper. This will help them develop flavor.
- Cook the Chicken Properly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through before you add it to the burritos. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warming the tortillas before you fill them will make them more pliable and less likely to crack.
- Don't Overstuff the Burritos: It's tempting to pack the burritos full of fillings, but don't overdo it. Otherwise, they will be difficult to roll and eat.
- Serve Immediately: Chicken pepper burritos are best served immediately after they are made. This will help prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
Conclusion:
Chicken pepper burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your burritos are perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give chicken pepper burritos a try!
