This is my version of chicken Burrito sans cheese and beans.
For Chicken part:
Chicken breasts - 3pcs- Cut in to thin strips
Garlic Powder - 1 tbsp
tomato Sauce - 1/2 cup
Asian Chilli Sauce - a few drops(very spicy)
Salt and pepper
Add Oil in the skillet and let it heat up. Add the chicken and saute it with salt and pepper. Then add the garlic powder and saute it. Then add the tomato sauce and chilli sauce and give it a nice coat and cover it and cook it till the oil seperates.
For the vegetable part:
Onions - 1
Bell pepper - 1 - any color/mixed
cabbage - finely chopped
salt and pepper
tomato sauce - 3tbsp
Remove the chicken and use the same skillet in which the chicken is cooked so the bits and pieces that is stuck in the skillet will give a unique flavour to the vegetables.
Add some oil in the skillet and add the onions until golden brown. then add bell pepper,cabbage, salt and pepper and allow it to cook till it turns color. Then add the tomato sauce and give it a toss and cook for 2 mins till the raw flavour of the tomato sauce goes away.
For Mexican rice:
Rice - 1:11/2 water ratio
Tomato sauce/mexican taco sauce
asian chilli sauce
salt
Cook the rice until 3/4 th done. Then drain it. Add the tomato sauce/taco sauce, Asian chilli sauce, salt and allow it cook in simmer or very low flame covered. When it is fully cooked remove it from the stove.
For salsa:
Onions - 1
Tomato - 2
Green chilli - 1
Cilatro - 1/4 cup
Lemon juice - 2 tbsp
salt
Finely chop every ingredient that is mentioned above. mix it with Lemon juice and salt and set it for 15 to 20 min... Your salsa is ready.
P.S: When you chop the tomato for salsa, cut the tomato in half remove the seedy part inside the tomato and cut only the shell, so it wont be soggy.
Now arranging the burrito.....
Buy a store bought soft taco/burrito base in the 12 counts or 30 counts packet....
Take a taco base slightly warm up on both sides like you do chappati...
take it away from the stove.
For the Stuffing.....
Now put the taco in the plate,First add one scoop of chicken, one scoop of cooked vegetables, one scoop of rice, and finally some salsa.. Top it with ranch/ sour cream..
Rolling the burrito....
After the stuffing is done.. First roll the front of the burrito and then sides and roll it fully... so the sides are tightly sealed.
viola...the burrito is ready and enjoy it with some taco sauce....
Note: You can use any meat or egg instead of chicken... done with the same method...
ummmm..... yummy..... in my tummy.....
