CALIFORNIA CHICKEN BURRITOS



California Chicken Burritos image

I was sent this recipe and can't wait to try it. We love chicken and we're always searching for a new way to prepare. I am posting so I won't lose or forget it. Garnish with sliced avocado, chopped romaine lettuce, and sour cream. If you don't have cooked rice on hand, you can use Uncle Ben's Ready Rice. Cans of chipotles en adobo are available in the Mexican food section of most supermarkets.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained

1 small chipotle chile, minced (from 1 can of chipotles en adobo)

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees.

Add black beans, water, reserved salsa juices, chile, and adobo sauce and cook until liquid has evaporated and beans are soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Using potato masher, mash beans lightly. Season with salt and pepper.

MAMI'S MINI CHICKEN BURRITOS



Mami's Mini Chicken Burritos image

Super easy, tasty and quick burritos. I make them with regular flour tortillas so that they come out the perfect size for my kids' small hands- if I made them with those huge burrito-size tortillas, they would never eat them! Great use for leftover cooked chicken. I divide the filling in two before I add the jalapeno and then add it to only one filling for the adults. These can also be served as an appetizer.

Time 15m

Yield 10 mini burritos

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breasts, shredded
1 cup cooked beans (pinto, black or whatever you like)
1 roma tomato, chopped
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 -2 canned jalapeno chile, finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheese (Monterey. Manchego, Oaxaca, Cheddar)
1 cup shredded lettuce (optional)
10 regular size flour tortillas

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix chicken with the beans, tomato, tomato sauce and jalapeno. Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick skillet over low heat. If you know how to heat tortillas in a griddle, then do so, otherwise warm them slightly in the microwave between paper towels. Place one tortilla in a plate. Put about 2 tbs filling in the center of the tortilla, top with a little cheese and lettuce, if desired. Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, then fold the side closest to you over the filling and turn burritos over, enclosing the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Place seam side down on the skillet so that the burritos get nice and crispy on the outside and the cheese melts. Serve hot.

LIME CHICKEN BURRITOS



Lime Chicken Burritos image

Burritos have a lot in common with enchiladas, both consisting of rolled-up tortillas filled with a variety of tempting ingredients. Burritos, however, are eaten out of hand, while enchiladas are prepared en casserole. By the way, the Pico de Gallo link listed as a garnish is more than just a suggestion. It is the perfect complement to these outstanding burritos. Recipe Source: texascooking.com
