Hi everyone! So last month, I wanted burritos but wanted to make them at home instead of going to my favorite spot, Chipotle. So a few days later I remembered that I pinned a recipe on Pinterest about some burrito recipe. (Honestly, the recipe was for a wrap, but it had all the ingredients as a burrito.) Well I tried the recipe and fell in love. The burrito came out great and the recipe was easy. So I have to thank Mel's Kitchen Cafe for putting up such a wonderful recipe.
I honestly recommend that all of you try this recipe and switch out some of the ingredients for what you already have around the house. Once you make the burrito, let me know how it turned out and if you liked it or not.
Take care!
DIRECTIONS:
Mix rice together with chili powder, cumin and garlic salt. Add remaining ingredients except for cheese and sour cream. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken and rice mixture down the center of each tortilla. (Optional: I like to dollop little bits of sour cream over the cheese before arranging chicken and rice mixture down the center – it makes the wraps delightfully creamy.) Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open and slightly flatten the wraps with the palm of your hand. Spray seam-side of the wrap lightly with cooking spray.
Heat a large non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange wraps, seam-side down, in pan or griddle and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Cooking them seam-side down first helps seal the long edge so they don’t fall apart. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
