QUICK CHICKEN FAJITA BURRITOS



Quick Chicken Fajita Burritos image

Always made with refried black beans, which is why I call them burritos. It just doesn't taste right with just meat and veggies. I also like to serve this dish with spinach instead of crunchy lettuce, because it's one of those things that you can easily sneak spinach into for the kids (as if they needed to grow any taller). There are much better recipes for fajitas out there that actually involve marinating or at least brining the chicken, which really does give it better flavor. This is the "quick and dirty" version.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

Four 8-inch flour tortillas
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1 yellow onion, cut in half, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons Fajita Spice Mix, recipe follows, or packaged seasoning mix
4 egg whites, whisked together
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 to 1 cup Dominic's Salsa, for serving, recipe follows
Hot sauce, for serving, optional
Fat-free sour cream, for serving, optional
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cornmeal
Freshly ground black pepper
5 to 6 Roma tomatoes, diced
8 to 10 scallions, whites and light green parts, chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed, finely chopped
1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped almost to a paste
1 cup loosely packed cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 to 2 limes
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F; arrange the tortillas in a single layer on an oven rack to warm them.
  • In a small well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Sprinkle a few droplets of water into the pan. If they sizzle and evaporate, the skillet is hot enough. Add the bell pepper and onion and saute until soft and fragrant, 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the Spice Mix and continue to saute until fragrant and the vegetables are thoroughly warmed through.
  • Add the egg whites to the skillet. As they begin to solidify, use a rubber spatula to move them around the pan to mix with the vegetables, so that the liquid parts are exposed to the heat. When all is cooked through, season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve straight from the skillet, spooning the fajita mixture onto the warmed tortillas. Serve with Dominic's Salsa or hot sauce (if using), and the sour cream (if using) on the side.
  • Combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne, salt, cornmeal and some black pepper in a small bowl and whisk together. Store in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. The spice mix will keep up to 2 months.
  • Combine the tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and vinegar in a medium serving bowl. Add the salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then stir again.
