topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

    Burrito

  • 1 tbsp adobo sauce
  • 1 tbsp barbecue seasoning
  • 1 grilled chicken, shred the meat, discard the skin and bones
  • 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (white part separated from green part)
  • 2 cups boiled white rice
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 can (580 g) honey chipotle kidney beans, such as Bush's
  • 1 cup of a mixture of grated Cheddar and Monterey Jack
  • 4 large tortillas, warmed

    Topping

  • 1 cup of a mixture of grated Cheddar and Monterey Jack
  • 0.5 cup chopped white onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 lime wedges

Preparation:

  1. Burrito:

    In a large skillet, combine the adobo sauce, barbecue seasoning, chicken, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and the white part of the green onion. Cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is heated through, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine rice with lime zest and green onions, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Drain the beans in a colander over a bowl and set aside 1 cup of the liquid for topping. Add the beans to the bowl with the chicken mixture, then add the rice mixture and cheese and toss to combine.
  4. Place a couple of spoonfuls of filling on each tortilla. Fold one tortilla over, first covering the filling with the edge closest to you. Fold both sides in and, holding them in place, roll the tortilla tightly. Assemble the remaining burritos.
  5. Preheat oven to grill mode.
  6. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place each burrito, seam-side down, in the skillet and cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (you may need to cook several at a time). Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Transfer the burritos to an oven-safe serving platter.
  7. Topping:

    Drizzle the burritos with the remaining 1 cup of bean liquid, sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top, and bake in the oven until the cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes. Serve garnished with white onion and cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
