A great burrito is a miracle of engineering. All the flavors inside. None of them falling out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This chicken burrito packs rice, beans, chicken, cheese, and avocado into one beautiful, foil-wrapped package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Makes 2 large burritos.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
2 large flour tortillas (10\u201312 inch, burrito size)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 cup (150g) cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 cup (200g) cooked rice (white or cilantro-lime)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup (120g) canned black beans, drained and warmed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup (50g) shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc cup sour cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc cup salsa or pico de gallo<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd avocado, sliced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Optional: hot sauce, cilantro, pickled onions, corn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Warm the Tortilla<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Microwave tortillas for 20 seconds or heat in a dry pan until pliable. Warm tortillas don’t crack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Layer Fillings Down the Middle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
In a line down the center (not edge to edge): rice \u2192 beans \u2192 chicken \u2192 cheese \u2192 sour cream \u2192 salsa \u2192 avocado.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Don’t overstuff. Less is more for rolling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Fold & Roll<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Fold the sides inward over the filling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Fold the bottom edge up and over. Roll tightly away from you, tucking as you go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Optional: Sear the seam side in a dry pan for 30 seconds to seal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Wrap & Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Wrap tightly in foil to hold the shape. Slice in half. Eat with hot sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prep Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes | Cook Time:<\/strong> 0 minutes (if using leftovers) | Total Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fridge:<\/strong> Wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a dry pan or air fryer. Microwave = soggy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Freezer:<\/strong> Freeze foil-wrapped burritos for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen at 375\u00b0F for 20\u201325 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pro tip:<\/strong> For the best roll, don’t put wet ingredients (salsa, sour cream) near the edges. Keep them in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
