Provided by Valerie Brunmeier

Categories     Main Dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
14 ounce can green enchilada sauce ((use Hatch brand if you can find it))
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
4 ounce can mild diced green chiles (drained)
½ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
6 burrito size (10-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese ((I used a combination of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack))
¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
cilantro avocado, sour cream, hot sauce or salsa

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over LOW heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for a minute or two until mixture is just beginning to get lightly golden brown. Whisk in the chicken broth, enchilada sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to MEDIUM-HIGH and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat enough to keep mixture at a low simmer and whisk lightly until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Combine chicken, sour cream, drained diced green chiles, and 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place the stack of 6 tortillas between two paper towels and heat in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds to soften slightly.
  • To assemble burritos, divide the filling between tortillas, fold edges inward over the top of filling and roll up. Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the sauce over the top and cover the dish with foil.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle burritos with shredded cheese. Return to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly around the edges.
  • Sprinkle with sliced green onions and serve with additional toppings of your choice.

SUNNY'S HONEY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN WET BURRITO



Sunny's Honey Chipotle Chicken Wet Burrito image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon adobo sauce
1 tablespoon barbecue seasoning
1 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded, skin and bones discarded
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 scallions, white and green parts finely chopped separately
2 cups prepared white rice
Zest of 1 lime
Kosher salt and black pepper
One 21.5-ounce can honey-chipotle beans, such as Bush's
1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
4 large tortillas, warmed to make them pliable
1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1/2 cup chopped white onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 lime wedges

Steps:

  • For the burrito: In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the adobo sauce, barbecue seasoning, chicken, 2 tablespoons of the oil and the scallion whites. Saute until everything is combined and coated and the chicken is warmed through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the rice with the lime zest and scallion greens; season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
  • Drain the beans over a bowl and reserve 1 cup of the liquid for the topping. Add the beans to the bowl with the chicken mixture, then add the rice mixture and cheese and mix to combine.
  • Add a couple of spoonfuls of filling to each tortilla. Fold one of the tortillas by first overlapping the line of filling with the flap closest to you. Tuck in both sides and, while holding them, fold the tortilla over itself, keeping the ingredients tucked tightly in the center. Fold the remaining tortillas.
  • Preheat the oven to broil.
  • On a griddle or in a large pan on high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add each burrito seam-side down and sear until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes (you may have to do this in batches if using a pan instead of a griddle). Flip and sear the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the burritos to an ovensafe serving dish.
  • For the topping: Drizzle the reserved 1 cup bean liquid over the burritos, top evenly with the cheese and place under the broiler until the cheese is just melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve topped with the white onions, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh chicken or turkey, crisp vegetables, and flavorful spices.
  • Cook the Chicken or Turkey Thoroughly: Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken or turkey reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is cooked safely.
  • Shred the Chicken or Turkey Finely: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the burritos and make them easier to eat.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Add a mix of colorful vegetables to your burritos for added nutrition and flavor. Bell peppers, onions, corn, and black beans are all great options.
  • Go Easy on the Liquid: Too much liquid can make your burritos soggy. Add just enough water or broth to moisten the filling without making it soupy.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to add plenty of spices and seasonings to your filling. This is what will give your burritos their delicious flavor.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil can add a burst of flavor to your burritos. Chop them finely and sprinkle them on top before serving.
  • Warm Your Tortillas: Warm tortillas are more pliable and less likely to crack when you roll them up. You can warm them in the microwave, on a skillet, or over an open flame.
  • Fold Burritos Tightly: Roll the burritos up tightly so that the filling doesn't fall out. You can use toothpicks to secure them if necessary.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and preparation, you can make delicious wet chicken or turkey burritos at home. These burritos are perfect for a quick and easy meal that the whole family will enjoy.
