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.

These burritos are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. They're also great for meal prep. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat them throughout the week.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some black beans and corn to mine.

These burritos are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few cups of shredded chicken in my freezer and this is the perfect recipe to use it up.

I'm not usually a fan of pineapple in savory dishes, but it totally works in this salsa. The sweetness of the pineapple pairs perfectly with the spicy jalapeƱos.
