My kids call this meal "Green Enchiladas" even though it is clearly more like a smothered burrito. This is probably the most requested meal at our house.
Cali's Chicken Burritos
{Santa Fe lime rice}
1 cup rice, either long grain or basmati
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
juice of 1/2 lime
2 TBSP butter
1/4 tsp cumin
1/3 cup cilantro
Melt butter in a pot & add all seasonings & cilantro. Add rice & cook over
medium heat for 2 minutes stirring constantly. Add stock & lime juice return to
simmer, turn to heat to low. Cover & cook about 30 minutes. Set aside.
{chicken}
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
{sauce} *I double the sauce*
1 cup salsa verde
1 package buttermilk ranch
1/3 cup cilantro
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayo
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1 Tbls fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 cup sugar
Put in a blender and blend away
( I usually do one and a half of this for the six burritos.
I love the sauce so I like more of it then the recipe calls for.)
{Burritos}
6 burrito size tortillas
shredded cheese
1- 15 oz can black beans, drained
rice, recipe above
I put the chicken, rice, beans and cheese in the tortillas. Wrap them up,cover
them with sauce,and then put them in the oven on 350 for 30 min covered with
tin foil, then I take the tin foil off sprinkle more cheese on top and then cook
them for another 10 minutes.
Top with pico, avocado, & sour cream.
** I double the sauce and pour a little bit into each burrito.
**This filling is also good in quesadillas.
