CHICKEN BURRITOS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 flour tortillas, recipe follows, or use store-bought
1 cup good quality canned refried beans, warmed
2 cups shredded roasted chicken (see attached recipe for chicken tacos and prepare chicken in the same way) or leftover
2 tablespoons Crema, recipe follows, creme fraiche, or sour cream
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
2 large tomatoes, sliced
2 small bunches watercress, trimmed, washed and dried
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Scant 1/2 cup vegetable shortening (3 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Spread the tortillas on a counter. Spread each with a strip of warm refried beans down the center. Top with the chicken (warmed), Crema, avocado and tomatoes. Lightly toss the watercress with the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and place over each burrito. Fold the bottom quarter of each tortilla up and then roll from the side into a cylinder.
  • In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer, place the flour, shortening and salt. Beat with the paddle until crumbly, about 3 to 5 minutes. With the mixer running, gradually add the warm water and continue mixing until the dough is smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Roll each into a ball and place on a baking tray or board. Cover with a towel and let rest at room temperature at least 15 minutes or up to one hour. Cut out eight 12 inch squares of waxed or parchment paper for stacking the tortillas. On a lightly floured board, roll each ball into a 10-inch circle, and transfer to a paper square. Stack on a baking tray or platter and refrigerate until cooking time. Uncooked tortillas can be kept in the refrigerator, well wrapped with paper squares between the layers, up to 2 days. To cook, heat a dry griddle or 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Carefully peel off the paper and cook the tortillas, one at a time, until puffy and slightly brown, about 30 to 45 seconds per side. Set aside to cool slightly on a towel lined platter. Bring to the table wrapped in a towel for warmth, or wrap well and refrigerate or freeze for quesadilla or other dishes.
  • In large bowl whisk together cream and buttermilk. Cover and set in a warm place (a gas oven with just the heat from the pilot light for example) for 8 hours. Place in refrigerator. Can be kept for up to a week.

SLOW-COOKER CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE BURRITO FILLING



Slow-Cooker Curry Chicken and Rice Burrito Filling image

This makes such a great chicken burrito filling but is also good eaten on its own! The recipe originally came from the taste of home website but I have changed it so much that it is unrecognizable in comparison to the original! This is pretty spicy so if you want it to be milder reduce the amount of cayenne pepper. If I am serving this plain instead of in burritos I will cube the chicken instead of shredding it.

  • Marinate the chicken in the curry spices for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the spices.

  • Use a medium-heat curry powder, or adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste. If you like a spicier curry, you can use a hotter curry powder.
  • Serve the curry chicken burritos with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
