MILDLY SPICY MEXICAN CHICKEN
BURRITOS
This is a very tasty lunch with chicken, mayo, green chilies, garlic, hot sauce, cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top of the burrito. These tortillas are my favorite - so much tastier than regular flour tortillas. that can actually be made quite
quickly if you already have the shredded chicken on hand (however, in a pinch used diced rotisserie chicken). See Helpful Hints for an easy way to make the
chicken. I find these burritos spicy enough for my
taste without the hot sauce, but some folks like their Mexican food real spicy! One Chicken Burrito is very filling so serve
with a few cucumber slices or tomato slices on the side and lunch is
served! I like topping my burrito with a
small amount of sour cream.
3 cups seasoned, shredded chicken* (750 mL)
1 cup mayonnaise (250 mL)
4.5 oz can green chilies (127 g)
1 tsp minced garlic** (5 mL)
1 tsp hot sauce, optional (5 mL)
1/2 tsp black pepper (2 mL)
2 cups grated Mexican cheese, OR (500 mL)
a mix of
Mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses
Sour cream, optional
In medium bowl, place chicken. In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, green
chilies, garlic, hot sauce (if using) and black pepper. Stir into chicken.
Prepare Miracle Dough Tortillas. Place some of the chicken mixture down the
center of the tortilla, top generously with grated cheese and fold the long
sides of the mixture over the filling, pinching the tortilla closed with your
fingers and then fold a small portion of the top and bottom of the tortilla
over the filling as well (again pinching it to seal), making a cute
parcel.
In large nonstick frying pan, fry tortillas on both
sides until golden brown. You can hold
the tortilla on its side using 2 spatulas if you would like the sides cooked as
well, although the texture contrast is quite pleasing, so not completely
essential to do this. Serve with sour cream, if desired.
Helpful Hints: *In slow-cooker, place 2 to 4 chicken breasts
and cover with chicken stock. Cook on
high for 4 to 41/2 hours depending on how thick the chicken breasts are. **I used the bottled kind of minced garlic in
oil. Do not overfill your tortilla as
they will be more likely to split open, which is what happened to some of mine.
