Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts (cut into bite size pieces) 
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1/2 onion (diced)
  • 2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (15 oz can)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 2 cups Mexican rice
  • 6 burrito size flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and diced onion. Sauté the chicken with the onion for 3-5 minutes until the chicken is browned. 
  2. Then stir in the salsa, diced tomatoes, seasoning and chicken broth. Cover and simmer for 7-10 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through. 
  3. Heat the refried beans and Spanish rice in separate bowls. 
  4. Heat the tortillas for 30-45 seconds so that they are pliable. 
  5. Place 1 of the tortillas in a flat surface. Spread 1-2 Tbsp of the refried beans on the center of the tortilla. Then top with 1/4-1/3 cup of the Spanish rice. 
  6. Then place approximately 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in each burrito and top it with the shredded cheese. 
  7. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. 
  8. Wrap and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until brown slightly. 
  9. Serve with your favorite burrito toppings and enjoy! 

Notes

  • Refrigerate any leftover burritos in an air tight container for up to 3-4 days.
  • You can also freezer the leftover burritos for up to 3 months.  I recommend wrapping them in foil and storing them in a freezer bag when freezing.
