Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 flour tortillas, recipe follows, or use store-bought
1 cup good quality canned refried beans, warmed
2 cups shredded roasted chicken (see attached recipe for chicken tacos and prepare chicken in the same way) or leftover
2 tablespoons Crema, recipe follows, creme fraiche, or sour cream
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
2 large tomatoes, sliced
2 small bunches watercress, trimmed, washed and dried
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Scant 1/2 cup vegetable shortening (3 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Spread the tortillas on a counter. Spread each with a strip of warm refried beans down the center. Top with the chicken (warmed), Crema, avocado and tomatoes. Lightly toss the watercress with the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and place over each burrito. Fold the bottom quarter of each tortilla up and then roll from the side into a cylinder.
  • In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer, place the flour, shortening and salt. Beat with the paddle until crumbly, about 3 to 5 minutes. With the mixer running, gradually add the warm water and continue mixing until the dough is smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Roll each into a ball and place on a baking tray or board. Cover with a towel and let rest at room temperature at least 15 minutes or up to one hour. Cut out eight 12 inch squares of waxed or parchment paper for stacking the tortillas. On a lightly floured board, roll each ball into a 10-inch circle, and transfer to a paper square. Stack on a baking tray or platter and refrigerate until cooking time. Uncooked tortillas can be kept in the refrigerator, well wrapped with paper squares between the layers, up to 2 days. To cook, heat a dry griddle or 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Carefully peel off the paper and cook the tortillas, one at a time, until puffy and slightly brown, about 30 to 45 seconds per side. Set aside to cool slightly on a towel lined platter. Bring to the table wrapped in a towel for warmth, or wrap well and refrigerate or freeze for quesadilla or other dishes.
  • In large bowl whisk together cream and buttermilk. Cover and set in a warm place (a gas oven with just the heat from the pilot light for example) for 8 hours. Place in refrigerator. Can be kept for up to a week.

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 4 burritos

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 package Kroger® Hardwood Smoked Pulled Chicken
3 cups rice, cooked
1 lime, zested
½ lime, juiced
⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 flour tortillas, burrito-sized

⅓ cup pico de gallo
½ oz avocado, diced
⅓ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Add the tomatoes, chipotle pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and salt to a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce into a medium skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then add the Kroger® Hardwood Smoked Pulled Chicken. Toss to coat the chicken in the sauce. Cover and cook until the chicken is heated through, 5-6 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the rice, lime zest and juice, and cilantro.
  • Assemble burritos: Place a tortilla on a work surface. Scoop about ¾ cup of the rice onto the lower third of the tortilla. Top with ¼ of the chicken, ¼ cup Monterey Jack cheese, a scoop of pico de gallo, some avocado, and a scoop of sour cream. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, fold in the sides, then continue rolling the burrito up. Slice in half on the diagonal. Repeat to make the remaining burritos.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a whole chicken that has been roasted with plenty of herbs and spices. You can also use rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
  • To make the burritos ahead of time, cook the chicken and rice according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Assemble the burritos and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
  • To reheat the burritos, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. You can also heat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese.
