POLOKWANE – A burrito is a dish in Mexican that consists of a flour tortilla with various other ingredients.
It is wrapped into a closed-ended cylinder that can be picked up, in contrast to a taco, where the tortilla is simply folded around the fillings.
What’s for Dinner says this chicken burritos recipe is quick and easy to make and bursting with flavours. Just quickly mix the rice with sautéed spring onions, peppers, chillies and celery. The Knorr Chicken Stock Pot and BBQ sauce add great flavour kicks.
Ingredients
1 red chilli, finely diced (seeded)
Roasted and shredded chicken
Method
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the spring onions, peppers, chillies, garlic and celery. Cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften but do not brown.
Add the Robertsons Cumin and Robertsons Paprika and mix well on medium heat.
Add the cooked rice, the lemon zest and lemon juice. Shake the pan well so that the rice and vegetables mix together really well.
In a separate bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the Knorr Chicken Stock Pot and BBQ sauce.
Heat the tortillas in a large dry frying pan on medium heat for 1-2 minutes until they soften up.
