Recipe video above. This is a chicken burrito stuffed with a juicy seasoned chicken filling, refried beans, corn, cheese and Mexican Red Rice. The refried beans makes it juicy inside without being soggy, adds flavour and holds it all together so the filling doesn&#x27;t come tumbling out when you pick it up!

Chicken Burrito

tortillas (, flour (approx 20cm/8" wide))

tsp each onion powder, dried oregano, salt

cumin powder, paprika

tsp black pepper

tsp cayenne pepper ((optional, adjust to taste))

/ 1.2 lb chicken breast

olive oil (, separated)

onion (, chopped)

garlic (, finely minced)

red capsicum/bell pepper (, diced)

400 grams/14 ounces refried beans (, canned (Note 2))

water

white rice (, plain (cooked, Note 3))

Mexican Red Rice ((the best for Burritos!))

corn

(150 grams) cheese (, shredded (Mexican blend, cheddar, tasty, Montery Jack))

coriander/cilantro (, finely chopped)

Avocado sauce

Sour cream

Salsa ((restaurant style, smooth))

Burrito Seasoning - Mix Seasoning ingredients. Drizzle 1 tbsp oil over chicken, mix to coat. Sprinkle with Seasoning, toss to coat.

Cook chicken - Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken, cook 2 minutes. Turn and cook 1.5 minutes. Remove, rest 2 minutes then chop.

Saute onion - In the same skillet, add onion and garlic, cook 1 minute. Add capsicum, cook 2 minutes until onion is translucent.

Finish Filling - Add refried beans, diced chicken and water. Stir and cook for 2 minutes until reduces slightly. Should be thick and juicy, not watery and not dry/stodgy! Let cool 5 minutes - will thicken.

Gently warm tortillas in microwave (makes them pliable), lay on work surface.

Place rice on lower third, top with Chicken Filling, corn, cheese then sprinkle with coriander. Fold up, burrito style.

Toasting: Either pan fry over medium high heat (no oil) for 2 minutes each side to make tortilla crispy and melt cheese a bit OR wrap tightly in foil and bake in oven 10 minutes at 180°C/350°F.

Dunk in sauce(s) of choice or douse with hot sauce of choice, and devour! Suggestions: Avocado Sauce, Guacamole, sour cream, Restaurant Style Salsa, Queso, Nacho Cheese Dip.

Freezer friendly! Note 4 for directions.

Assemble burritos:

Chicken Burrito Recipe for busy people! Meal prep 17 chicken burritos in an hour in Instant Pot or on the stove and freeze for later. Or turn chicken burrito into a low carb burrito bowl.

brown rice (rinsed & drained)

black beans (rinsed & drained (skip if cooking on the stove))

chicken breasts (boneless & skinless)

tbsp taco seasoning (low sodium)

tbsp cumin

garlic powder

water broth

salsa

corn (frozen

cilantro (chopped)

onion

oz any soft cheese (shredded)

green or red cabbage (thinly shredded)

17 large whole wheat tortillas

In Instant Pot, add brown rice, black beans, chicken breasts, taco seasoning, cumin, garlic powder, salt and broth or water. No need to stir.

Close the lid, turn pressure vent to Sealing and press Pressure Cooking on High for 20 minutes. In the meanwhile, chop cilantro and onion; shred cabbage and cheese.

After Instant Pot has finished cooking, do Quick Release by turning the valve to Venting. If beans look a bit dry on top, it's OK. They will soak up more liquid as you stir.

Shred chicken using 2 forks right in the pressure cooker. Then add salsa, corn, cilantro and green onion. Stir. Your chicken and rice burrito filling is ready.

Instant Pot

The only difference is that you will have to use 2 x 15 oz cans of low sodium black beans, rinsed &amp; drained.

In a large pot, add brown rice, chicken breasts, taco seasoning, cumin, garlic powder, salt and broth or water (everything but black beans). Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook for 45 minutes or until water is absorbed.

Shred chicken right in the pot. Add canned black beans, salsa, corn, cilantro and green onion. Stir. Your chicken and rice burrito filling is ready.

Stovetop

Tear 17 sheets of aluminum foil for wrapping the burrito.

Place tortilla on top of foil. Add 3/4 cup of filling below the center and near to the edge closer to you. Top with some shredded cabbage and cheese.

Fold up the bottom to almost cover the filling. Then fold up the edges. Roll up tightly and then roll again in foil. Picture tutorial above will help.

How to Wrap Burrito

If frozen, thaw first overnight in the fridge.

Bake at 450 for 20-25 minutes. It takes a while for burritos to get warmed through and cheese to melt. I was surprised as well.

That's why I like to broil for 10-15 minutes.

You can also warm burritos up in a microwave without tin foil. Keep your eye on it as ovens vary. I would start with 2 minutes.
