MILD CHICKEN BURRITOS



Mild Chicken Burritos image

This is a comforting and mild burrito recipe. My husband and kids love it. I like it because it's easy and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. A great way to use leftover rice and chicken! It can be made healthier by using brown rice and whole wheat tortillas. You can also add onions and garlic to the recipe for added flavor.

Time 35m

Yield 5 burritos, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
2 cups cooked rice
1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup, condensed
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, chopped
5 slices swiss cheese
5 large tortillas
1 (10 ounce) can green chili sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a 13x9 baking dish with baking spray - or just use extra green chili sauce on the bottom of the dish to keep the burritos from sticking.
  • Combine chicken, rice, cream of chicken soup, green chilis and pepper in a bowl. Take a tortilla and place a slice of swiss cheese in the middle. Spoon 1/5 of the chicken mixture on the tortilla and roll up. Place in a glass baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Pour the green chili sauce over the top of the burritos. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for another 10 minutes. If you are a cheese lover - feel free to top the burrito with cheddar or monterey jack cheese for the last 10 minutes of baking. Serve with mexican corn. Enjoy!

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.

SIMPLE CHICKEN BURRITO



Simple Chicken Burrito image

A simple chicken, rice, and bean burrito. Very quick and consistent recipe. Extremely hard to screw up, so it's a good one for even the worst of cooks!

Provided by Countessme

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 1 burrito, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups refried black beans
2 cups rice
3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups mild salsa
2 teaspoons canola oil
5 large flour tortillas

Steps:

  • You can dice the chicken after it's cooked, but I prefer to do it before hand. cut each breast into 1/2 inch strips (estimated) and then each strip into small cubes. Cook them on a skillet in the oil.
  • While the chicken cooks, warm up the beans in a small sauce pan, stir them constantly so they don't stick.
  • Once the chicken is cooked thoroughly, pull it and the beans off of the stove. This should take about 15 minutes on Medium if the chicken is in cubes already, but it varies from stove to stove.
  • If the tortillas you're using are homemade, skip this step, if they're store bought taco type shells, put them in the microwave for 15 seconds.
  • Make the burritos the same way you would make a taco, using the beans, rice, chicken, salsa, and any other toppings of your choosing.
