Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (3.5 to 4-pound) chicken
1 medium yellow onion, 1 peeled
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
1 (8-ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained and chopped
1 small red onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 scallions, chopped
8 flour tortillas (reserve 2 for round 2 recipe Tortilla Pizza and 2 for Tortilla Soup)
1 can red or black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup shredded jack cheese

Steps:

  • In a large pot, put the chicken, 1 whole onion, and large pinch of salt and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour.
  • While the chicken is cooking, make the salsa by mixing together the diced red onion, pineapple chunks, jalapeno, cilantro, chili powder, lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Remove the chicken and allow it to cool. Strain the cooking liquid and reserve it and the onion for the round 2 recipe, tortilla soup. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat, discarding the bones and skin. Save 1 cup of meat for the tortilla soup.
  • Wrap the tortilla in a damp towel and microwave for 45 second or until warm and pliable. Heat the beans in a small pot over low heat.
  • Lay out one tortilla onto a flat surface. Place 1/4 of the chicken, into the middle of the burrito. Top with 1/4 cup of cheese, 1/4 of the beans and 2 tablespoons of the salsa. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling then fold the sides in and roll up from the bottom. Repeat with remaining ingredients and garnish with remaining salsa.

PINEAPPLE CHICKEN BURRITOS



Pineapple Chicken Burritos image

Not too heavy, these "Hawaiian"-like burritos are a real family pleaser. They are full of chicken, corn, black beans, and yes, pineapple. There is just a touch of cheese over the top. The chicken cooks easily in the crock pot which makes assembly and just heating through super easy. This recipe makes a double-batch, so some can be frozen for a later time. I usually get about 16 - 18 burritos, for you this may vary according to your stuffing and rolling capabilities.

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups salsa, medium (needs to be medium or it will be too bland)
3 cups cooked rice

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
16 flour tortillas, burrito-sized (I use 8-inch)
2 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (okay to sub monterey jack, or even a Mexican blend)

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in the crock pot and top with the pineapple, beans and salsa. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Remove the chicken and shred. Mix the chicken back into the crock pot mixture.
  • Mix in the cooked rice, cumin, garlic salt and onion salt.
  • Use half of the mixture to fill 8 of the burrito tortillas. Allow the other half to cool.
  • Place the 8-ish burritos in a 9x13 pan. Pour 1 can of the green enchilada sauce over the burritos.
  • Top with 1 cup of the shredded cheese and place under the broiler on the middle rack until the cheese is nice and melted.
  • Enjoy!
  • *With the remaining cooled filling mixture, place it in a gallon sized freezer bag and freeze for another meal. You can also place the remaining tortillas and shredded cheese in separate freezer bags to freeze along with the mixture for a future meal if you would like.
  • **To use the frozen meal, thaw the filling, tortillas and cheese and reheat the filling mixture. Then follow steps 4-6 to complete.
  • Note: The Prep Time (20 minutes) is about 5 dumping stuff into the crock pot, then about 15 rolling up the burritos. The Cooking Time is roughly 6.5 crock pot hours and 10-15 broiler minutes.
