Chicken Burritos
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
3 smaller boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
1 cup bean medley or kidney beans
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 jalapeno, chopped
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
6 6″ tortillas
salsa and sour cream for topping (optional)
Instructions:
Yield: 6 burritos. Serving Size: 2 large or 3 regular
Preheat your broiler.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken breast and cook until no longer pink. Add onion and garlic to the skillet and stir. Season with salt and pepper, chili powder and cumin. Cook until onion is translucent. Add tomatoes, beans and jalapeno and mix well. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes then set aside.
To assemble add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture to the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with a little cheddar cheese. Roll up each tortilla and secure with a couple toothpicks. Place burritos under the broiler for about 2 to 3 minutes until cheese has melted and tortillas are slightly golden. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
