There is nothing as ugly and difficult to photograph as a good, messy, faux-unhealthy burrito.
-
Slow cooker "refried" beans- Baked chicken breast seasoned with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano and cayenne pepper; cubed
-
Cotija cheese or shredded jack cheese (mm.. pepper jack)
- Lettuce, tomato, cilantro. I don't like raw onions :( but you can have them if you want to.
- Rice (see below)
- Tortilla
The beans are key. So easy and so AMAZING. I'm in love with my little green slow cooker.
My faux Spanish rice method:
1. Wash rice until water runs somewhat clear. It'll be translucent but light.
2. Add 2 cups rice and 2 cups water to rice cooker. Basically, 2 cups of rice. I always use a 1:1 rice to water ratio.
(This can be done on the stovetop according to your ratios, but I have no idea how to do this without burning my rice).
3. Add 1/2 cup tomato sauce to the rice for 2 cups.
4. Optional: add chicken seasoning and cilantro to rice.
5. Cook per your rice cooker instructions.
Assemble burrito ingredients as desired on tortilla. Try not to put too much filling, otherwise your burrito will explode like James Bond's pen gun in
Never Say Never Again.
BURRITO GOODNESS
