Instructions
Step 1
Cook the rice in the chicken stock. I like to use a rice cooker to save time, but if you don't have one, on the stove is fine.
Step 2
Once the rice is cooking, prep everything to get ready to cook
Step 3
Cut the chicken into strips and toss with the burrito seasoning mix and some olive oil until well coated
Step 4
Mash the two avocados well and add salt, pepper or however you like to make guacamole. Set aside.
Step 5
Drain the corn and black beans of any excess water and fry in a pan in a small amount of oil until cooked or until there is good colour on the corn kernels. Remove from the heat and set aside
Step 6
Prep done, fry the chicken on a medium to high heat in a small amount of olive oil. Fry in batches if needed to avoid over-crowding the pan. Set aside to rest.
Step 7
At this stage, the rice should be cooked and we should be ready to make our burritos.
Step 8
Roughly chop all the cooked chicken strips. The chicken should be rough chopped, but chopped well and into quite small pieces
Step 9
Lay a Tortillas flat on your bench top. Sprinkle a strip of cheese and then lay down approximately 2 tbsp of the cooked rice in a strip on top of the rice.
Step 10
Layer 2 tbsp of the salsa ontop of the strip of rice, then layer about 1/6 of the chicken ontop. Finish by sprinkling some more cheese ontop of the chicken.
Step 11
In a long strip next to the rice, cheese and chicken, spread out approximately 2 tbsp of the guacamole. Repeat this ontop of the guacamole with the sour cream.
Step 12
If including, sprinkle some of the roughly chopped coriander on top of the sour cream. And sprinkle 1tbsp of the cooked corn and black bean mix ontop of the sour cream.
Step 13
With all the ingredients added, turn the Tortillas so the long strips of ingredients are horizontally in front of you. Fold the sides of the Tortilla in, and then from the bottom side (the bottom should be the guacamole and sour cream side) fold the bottom of the Tortillas ontop the ingredients, keeping the sides of the Tortillas tucked in and roll the burrito tightly. Place seam side down so the burrito doesn't come apart.
Step 14
Repeat step 13 until you have 6 large burritos
Step 15
One all your burriots are assembled, heat 1-2 tbsp of oil in your pan on a medium heat.
Step 16
Lay the burritos seam side down, frying lightly until the Tortillas is golden and crisp, flip the burrito once until the opposite side is golden and crisp. Once done, remove from the pan and lay on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Step 17
Toast all of your burritos and slice in half on the diagonal to serve. Serve with smokey Chipotle Tabasco if you can get it and a Corona if you want. Enjoy!
