IMITATION TACO BELL SMOTHERED BURRITO - SHREDDED CHICKEN RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Start by sauteing meat crumbles withminimal amount of olive oil (probably 1/2 teaspoon or more if needed). Saute over medium heat. I usually cook until the meat crumbles are thawed and then a bit more to make sure everything is heated well. You can check by taking a spoon and poking the pieces to see if they are still hard or thawed. This takes about 3 minutes. Cook your rice according to package directions. I used one cup water for 1 cup rice. Boiled the water. Added the rice, covered, then let it sit for 5 minutes. Have your rice, meat crumbles, shredded cheese, refried beans, red sauce, and tortillas spread out on a table for easy access as you make your burritos. Once you are ready, add ingredients to burritos from bottom to top in the following order: meat on bottom, then cheese, rice, and beans on top. Fold into burritos. Place in greased pan, fold side down. I like to use a circular cake pan instead of aluminum foil. I can usually fit about 4 burritos in this type of pan. Place pan in toaster oven at 350 degrees fahrenheit and bake for about 10 minutes or until browned and slightly hardened. Note: if just now turning on oven, you may want to add a minute to the cook time so it can heat up. When done, place individual burritos on small plates and drizzle with desired amount of red sauce.

TACO BELL GRILLED CHICKEN BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine marinade ingredients. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts and Marinade overnight.
• Cook the chicken on your barbecue or indoor grill over med-high heat for 5-6 minute per side, or until done. Slice the chicken into bite-size chunks.
• Add the enchilada sauce to the rice. Put on the rice over low heat, uncovered, and cook until hot.
• Heat the tortillas in a steamer, or wrap them in moist towels and heat on high for 25-30 sec. in the microwave.
• Build the burrito by spreading 1/4 of the chicken down the middle of one of the tortillas. Leave room at the end for folding. Spread 1/4 of the rice over the chicken. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of each of the cheeses over the rice. Sprinkle sliced green onions to taste. Fold up.
• You may want to heat up each burrito in the microwave for 20-30 sec. to help the cheese melt.
• NOTES : I also spoon a little more enchilada sauce over chicken mixture.
