Provided by smellow

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 2h

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole chicken
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with habanero peppers (such as RO*TEL® Hot)
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 large onion, diced
3 jalapeno chile peppers, seeded and diced
2 (1 ounce) packets taco seasoning mix, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil, or as needed
1 (15 ounce) package flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Place chicken, tomatoes with habanero peppers, green bell pepper, onion, jalapeno chile peppers, and 1 packet taco seasoning in a large pot; pour in enough water to just cover chicken.
  • Bring chicken and vegetables to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the pot and let cool. Pull chicken meat off the bones and cut into bite-sized pieces; discard carcass. Pour off about half the liquid from the pot, making sure all the vegetables stay. Return chicken meat to pot; add the remaining 1 packet taco seasoning. Simmer until flavors have blended, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat; fry tortillas, working in batches, in the hot oil until desired crispness is reached, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Spoon chicken mixture into each tortilla to serve.

CHICKEN BURRITO



Chicken burrito image

Use up leftover chicken in these easy toasted wraps, filled with spiced Mexican-style rice and beans. Swap for ham, beef or pork if you prefer

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4 (1.5 burritos per person)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 red or white onion, or 4 spring onions, chopped
400g mixed vegetables of your choice (we used carrots, red pepper and sweetcorn)
200g leftover chicken, chopped into small chunks
2 x 250g packs ready-cooked lime & coriander rice
400g can red kidney beans in chilli sauce
6 large wraps
1 avocado, chopped
100g grated cheddar
1 egg, beaten
soured cream, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins until soft, then add your chosen veggies and continue cooking for another 5-10 mins or until tender. Add the leftover meat, the rice and beans, along with the sauce from the can. Stir everything together and cook for 5 mins until piping hot.
  • Heat another frying pan, or a griddle pan, until hot, and heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 2. Now assemble the burritos. Warm a wrap for 10 secs on the hot pan (keep the pan hot, you'll need to use it again).
  • Pile roughly a sixth of the rice mixture onto the centre of the wrap. Top with a little avocado and some cheese, then brush beaten egg around the edge. Fold the ends over the filling, then fold in the sides, like an envelope.
  • Flatten a little to a parcel, then place, seam-side down, in the hot pan. Cook for 2 mins until the underside has sealed shut and is toasted a golden brown, flip over and cook for a few mins more.
  • Keep the burrito warm in the oven while you continue assembling and cooking the remaining burritos. Serve with soured cream, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to mix and match different ingredients to create your own unique chicken salad burrito. Some popular options include shredded chicken, chopped vegetables, cheese, and a variety of sauces.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked: This is especially important if you are using leftover chicken. To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, cook it to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible: Fresh ingredients will give your burrito the best flavor. If you can, try to use vegetables that are in season.
  • Don't overstuff the burrito: It's important to leave some room in the burrito so that you can fold it properly. If you overstuff the burrito, it will be difficult to eat.
  • Serve the burrito with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
