Restaurant Style Light And Healthy Chicken Burrito Food

SIMPLE CHICKEN BURRITO

Steps:

• You can dice the chicken after it's cooked, but I prefer to do it before hand. cut each breast into 1/2 inch strips (estimated) and then each strip into small cubes. Cook them on a skillet in the oil.
• While the chicken cooks, warm up the beans in a small sauce pan, stir them constantly so they don't stick.
• Once the chicken is cooked thoroughly, pull it and the beans off of the stove. This should take about 15 minutes on Medium if the chicken is in cubes already, but it varies from stove to stove.
• If the tortillas you're using are homemade, skip this step, if they're store bought taco type shells, put them in the microwave for 15 seconds.
• Make the burritos the same way you would make a taco, using the beans, rice, chicken, salsa, and any other toppings of your choosing.

LIME CHICKEN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces in a glass or plastic container. Combine the vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, pepper, oregano and onion and pour mixture over the chicken pieces. Allow chicken to marinate, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
• Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and warm in a 400°F oven while you assemble the garnishes. When ready to serve, transfer to a hot plate or tortilla warmer.
• Drain the marinade from the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade. In a large skillet, brown the chicken pieces in the olive oil over medium-high heat. When pieces are browned, turn heat to low and stir in the reserved marinade and chicken broth. Simmer, stirring occasionally for 5 to 10 minutes until liquid has almost cooked away. Do not allow mixture to dry out. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
• Put chicken, tortillas and garnishes in individual serving dishes on the table, and let guests assemble their own burritos.
