Today's recipe is great for a simple but nutritious meal: Spicy Chicken Burrito.
For two burritos you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 regular flour tortillas (about 18 or 20 cm in diameter)
- 1 chicken breast cut into small bite size pieces
- about 200 grs. of already cooked red kidney beans
- 4 slices of cheese
- salt, peper to taste
- a pinch of chilli powder/flakes
- 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp of tomato paste
- 1/2 tsp of sugar
- 1 tsp of oil to cook the meat + 1 tsp of oil to use with the beans
- water as needed
Start by putting the oil in a frying pan and put the chicken breast pieces in it. Season with salt and the chilli powder/flakes and cook it on low heat. You don't want the chicken to brown, just cooked. The meat will probably release some juices so, after it's cooked, turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to remove the meat from the pan to a plate and set it aside. Now lets use those juices.
Put 2 or 3 tbsp of the beans in the pan with the juices and mash them with a fork. Add in the remaining oil, some salt and pepper, the balsamic vinegar, the sugar, the tomato paste and the rest of the beans and coarsely mash them with the fork. You don't want a complete puree, just enough so you can have a mixture that holds the beans together when rolling the burrito. If the juices are not enough to make it a relatively smooth mixture, add in some water, a tbsp at a time until you get the consistency right. If the juices are too much, take the mixture to high heat so some of the juices evaporate. Keep an eye on it, stirring constantly, it may happen quite fast and burn the beans!
Give the beans mixture a good stir to bring all the ingredients and seasons together and lets roll those burritos! (If you want your beans heated, just heat them a bit on the stove).
On a plate put the tortilla and some chicken on it, then some beans on top and finish it off with two slices of cheese. Roll the tortilla into a burrito and repeat with the other tortilla! Enjoy!
