CHICKEN BURRITO



Chicken burrito image

Use up leftover chicken in these easy toasted wraps, filled with spiced Mexican-style rice and beans. Swap for ham, beef or pork if you prefer

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Supper

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.

Provided by Kroger

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 4 burritos

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 package Kroger® Hardwood Smoked Pulled Chicken
3 cups rice, cooked
1 lime, zested
½ lime, juiced
⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 flour tortillas, burrito-sized
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
⅓ cup pico de gallo
½ oz avocado, diced
⅓ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Add the tomatoes, chipotle pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and salt to a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce into a medium skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then add the Kroger® Hardwood Smoked Pulled Chicken. Toss to coat the chicken in the sauce. Cover and cook until the chicken is heated through, 5-6 minutes.
  • 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!
