Yield (makes 6 burritos)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion , diced
1 tbsp chipotle paste
250g cooked chicken , chopped into small chunks
2 x 250g pack ready-cooked rice
400g can red kidney beans
1 lime , juiced
small bunch coriander , chopped
1 ripe avocado , chopped
6 large wraps
6 tbsp tomato salsa
100g grated cheddar
6 tbsp soured cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the chipotle paste and the chicken to warm through.
  • Heat the rice following pack instructions and warm through the kidney beans in their liquid in a small pan. Drain the beans and fold in the cooked rice, with half the lime juice and half the coriander.
  • Mix the remaining coriander and lime juice with the avocado, mashing it well with some seasoning.
  • Heat the wraps individually in a dry frying pan to warm through, or warm in the microwave for 5-10 seconds.
  • Divide the rice and beans between the warmed wraps, piling the mixture into the middle of each one. Lay the chicken on top, then add a spoon each of the avocado, salsa, cheddar and soured cream, if using. Don't overfill the wraps or they will be difficult to close.
  • With each wrap, fold over two ends to cover the filling, then carefully roll over and tuck the ends under to make a thick sausage shape with the folds on the base. Keep the prepared ones warm in a low oven as you work. Cut in half, on a diagonal, to serve.
