Chicken Burrito Recipe – How To Make A Chicken Burrito

Prep Time: 15 mins – Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 5 tortillas , flour (approx 20cm/8″ wide)

Burrito Seasoning:

• 1 tsp each onion powder, dried oregano, salt
• 2 tsp each dried cumin powder, paprika
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, adjust to taste)

Chicken Filling:

• 600g / 1.2 lb chicken breast , sliced in half horizontally (Note 1)
• 2 tbsp olive oil , separated
• 1/2 onion , chopped
• 2 garlic cloves , finely minced
• 1 red capsicum/bell pepper , diced
• 400g/14oz refried beans , canned (Note 2)
• 1/4 cup water

Rice – ONLY PICK ONE:

• 2.5 cups white rice , plain (cooked, Note 3)
• 2.5 cups Mexican Red Rice (the best for Burritos!)

Other Stuffings:

• 400g/14oz canned corn , drained (or 280g/9oz frozen thawed)
• 1.5 cups (150g) cheese , shredded (Mexican blend, cheddar, tasty, Montery Jack)
• 1/4 cup coriander/cilantro , finely chopped

Sauce for dunking – choose:

• Avocado sauce
• Sour cream
• Salsa (restaurant style, smooth)

Directions

• Burrito Seasoning – Mix Seasoning ingredients. Drizzle 1 tbsp oil over chicken, mix to coat. Sprinkle with Seasoning, toss to coat.
• Cook chicken – Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken, cook 2 minutes. Turn and cook 1.5 minutes. Remove, rest 2 minutes then chop.
• Saute onion – In the same skillet, add onion and garlic, cook 1 minute. Add capsicum, cook 2 minutes until onion is translucent.
• Finish Filling – Add refried beans, diced chicken and water. Stir and cook for 2 minutes until reduces slightly. Should be thick and juicy, not watery and not dry/stodgy! Let cool 5 minutes – will thicken.

Assemble burritos:

• Gently warm tortillas in microwave (makes them pliable), lay on work surface.
• Place rice on lower third, top with Chicken Filling, corn, cheese then sprinkle with coriander. Fold up, burrito style.
• Toasting: Either pan fry over medium high heat (no oil) for 2 minutes each side to make tortilla crispy and melt cheese a bit OR wrap tightly in foil and bake in oven 10 minutes at 180°C/350°F.
• Dunk in sauce(s) of choice or douse with hot sauce of choice, and devour! Suggestions: Avocado Sauce, Guacamole, sour cream, Restaurant Style Salsa, Queso, Nacho Cheese Dip.
• Freezer friendly! Note 4 for directions.

Tips

• Chicken breast – slice in half horizontally to make 2 thin steaks out of each breast. I do this so there’s more surface area to coat in the spice mix!
• Refried beans – secret ingredient! Makes the burrito filling juicy and holds it all together, rather than dry and crumbly (which too many burritos are!)Substitution: Saute 1 garlic clove minced in a little oil until golden. Add 1 can pinto, red kidney or black beans with 1/4 cup of the liquid in the can, 1/2 tsp each cumin, onion and paprika powder. Stir few minutes until beans thoroughly heated then mash or puree.Any beans will actually work just fine, just a different colour!
• Rice – you’ll need 1 cup of uncooked rice to make 2.5 cups cooked rice. See here for instructions for how to cook plain rice, or make Mexican Red Rice!
• Storage – Wrap in cling wrap or foil, fridge for 4 days or freeze. Best to warm in oven – 15 minutes at 180C/350F wrapped in foil. Frozen – thaw overnight then warm in oven 15 minutes. To reheat from frozen, wrap in foil and place in oven for 40 minutes at 180C/350F
