Ingredients
- ¼ cup canola oil or vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion chopped fine
- 1 (15-ounce) (15-ounce) can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 ½ cups rice cooked, brown or white
- 2-3 cups diced cooked chicken
- 1-2 teaspoons Chipotle chili use the lesser amount for less heat, greater amount for a bigger kick, minced, canned, in adobo sauce
- 1 cup cheddar cheese or a combination of both, or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- ½ cup cilantro finely chopped, fresh
- salt
- black pepper
- 6 large flour tortillas burrito-size
Instructions
- Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and heat the oven to 450 degrees. While the oven is heating, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Cook the onion until it is just softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the beans, rice, chicken and chipotle and cook until the mixture is heated through, about 3 minutes.
- Off the heat, stir in the cheese and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I used about 1/4 teaspoon each).
- Stack the tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave the tortillas until they are warm and pliable, about 1 minute.
- Top each warm tortilla with some of the chicken mixture, leaving about a 2-inch border at the bottom of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up the tortilla tightly.
- Brush the wrapped tortillas with the remaining oil and arrange them seam side down on the hot baking sheet that has been preheating in the oven. Bake until the chimis are golden brown and crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve.
Notes
- Plan Ahead: this recipe makes use of already cooked rice and chicken so plan ahead!
