Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup brown rice
2 cloves garlic; 1 smashed, 1 minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound (about 2 cups) frozen diced butternut squash, thawed
1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
1 15-ounce can black beans
1 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno peppers, plus 2 tablespoons pickling liquid
4 8-inch whole-wheat tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 avocado, sliced
Plain low-fat yogurt or sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a medium skillet over high heat. Add the rice and smashed garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup water, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Add the squash and reduce the heat to low; cover and simmer, undisturbed, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle the chicken over the rice mixture, cover and remove from the heat. Meanwhile, make the bean salsa: Drain and rinse the beans, quarter the tomatoes and chop the cilantro and jalapenos. Toss with the pickling liquid and minced garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the chicken-rice mixture and spoon it down the center of each tortilla, then top with half of the bean salsa and sprinkle with the cheese. Fold in the sides and roll up. Slice in half and serve with avocado, the remaining bean salsa and yogurt, if desired.

DINNER, WRAPPED UP (BLACK BEAN, CHICKEN, AND CHORIZO BURRITOS)



Dinner, Wrapped Up (Black Bean, Chicken, and Chorizo Burritos) image

Categories     Bean     Chicken     Side     Dinner     Simmer

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
Salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups white rice
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/3 pound chorizo, chopped (a package usually weighs 3/4 pound-use half)
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin, 2/3 palmful
1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/3 palmful
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders, chopped into small dice
1 ripe Hass avocado
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, a generous handful, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 14-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
8 10- to 12-inch flour tortillas
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
3/4 cup prepared salsa (optional)
1 cup sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a medium-size saucepan with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat with about 1 tablespoon of the oil, once around the pan. Add one fourth of the chopped onion and season with salt and pepper, then cook for 1 minute. Add the rice, stir to coat in the oil, then add 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock and bring up to a simmer. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium low, and cook the rice for 15 to 17 minutes, until tender.
  • While the rice is cooking, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chorizo and cook for 2 minutes. Add the remaining chopped onion, the garlic, cumin, coriander, and a little salt and pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the onions start to get tender. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Halve the avocado, remove the pit with a spoon, and then carefully scoop out the flesh. Cut the two halves into small bite-size pieces and transfer to a bowl. Add the halved tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper, and mix to combine.
  • Add the remaining cup of chicken stock to the skillet with the chorizo and chicken and bring it up to a bubble. Once it is simmering, add the black beans and continue to cook until the liquids are just barely visible and the beans are heated through, a couple of minutes.
  • Heat a large dry skillet over high heat to blister the tortillas. Have a clean kitchen towel nearby to wrap the tortillas and keep them warm. Once the skillet is hot, add a tortilla and heat for about 30 seconds on each side, remove from the skillet, and wrap it in the towel. Continue until all the tortillas have been heated. If you have a gas stove, you can blister them directly over the flame itself.
  • Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork. To assemble a burrito, scatter a small handful of cheese, about 1/4 cup, across the center of a tortilla. Top with a couple of generous kitchen spoonfuls, about 3/4 cup, of cooked rice. The rice will catch the juices from the couple of kitchen spoonfuls of black beans, chicken, and chorizo that come next! Dot the mound of fillings with some salsa and sour cream, if you like. Tuck the sides in, then wrap and roll. Cut in half and serve. Repeat to form up to 8 wraps.

BLACK BEAN CHICKEN BURRITOS



Black Bean Chicken Burritos image

I try to hide as many veggies as possible in these burritos. Another way I bump up the nutrition level is by using thinly sliced cabbage instead of regular iceberg lettuce. The filling freezes well, so double the recipe! -Jeni Pittard, Statham, Georgia

Make and share this Chicken and Refried Beans Burritos recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Mr.MojoRisin

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4 Burritos, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
chili powder
cumin
oil
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 medium tomatoes
1 small onion
2 jalapenos
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or 2 cups monterey jack cheese
4 large flour tortillas
Pam cooking spray or butter
salsa, and or guacamole

Steps:

  • Trim breast and pound to 1/4 inch cutlets. Completely coat cutlets in a 50/50 mixture of Chili Powder and Cumin. In a large pre-heated oil-coated skillet, fry cutlets until cooked through over med-high heat. Let cutlets cool for 10-15 minutes then cut into bite-size strips.
  • Heat Refried Beans over low heat while letting chicken cool and cutting vegetables.
  • Dice tomato into bite-size pieces. Mince onion and jalapenos (seeded or not depending on your heat preference).
  • When chicken is able to be handled comfortably and beans are heated through, you can begin assembly. Spread 1/4 of the refried beans on one side of tortilla leaving about a 1/2 to 1 inch of uncoated tortilla around the edges. Fill the center of bean coated tortilla with chicken, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and cheese. Roll up the tortilla into the shape of a burrito.
  • In a large skillet (Preferably cast iron, but not necessary) preheated to medium and sprayed with PAM or lightly coated with butter, placed burritos in the pan with the folds face down. Cover and fry for about 5 minutes. Flip and cook for 5 more minutes while covered. Tortilla shell should become nicely toasted.
  • Serve with Salsa and or Guacamole on the side. I also make some Spanish rice to go along with this dish as well. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your burrito verde the best flavor. Look for ripe tomatoes, avocados, and cilantro. You can also use frozen corn and black beans, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Make your own salsa verde: Salsa verde is a key ingredient in this recipe and is easy to make at home. Simply combine tomatillos, cilantro, onion, garlic, and jalapeño peppers in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Shred your own chicken: Shredding your own chicken will give you more control over the texture of your burrito verde. You can also use rotisserie chicken, but be sure to remove the skin and bones.
  • Season your rice: Don't forget to season your rice before cooking it. This will add a lot of flavor to your burrito verde.
  • Assemble your burrito verde carefully: Be sure to layer the ingredients evenly so that each bite is full of flavor. You can also add your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or cheese.

Conclusion:

Chicken and bean burrito verde is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its fresh ingredients and flavorful salsa verde, this burrito is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
