Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breast, skinless and boneless
  • 1 quart green chile sauce, divided
  • ¼ large head of iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup sliced black olives
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 avocado, peeled and cut into chunks
  • ¼ bunch of fresh cilantro
  • 4 large (burrito size) flour tortilla
  • 2-1/2 cups of cheese (I like a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack
  • 1 fresh lime, quartered
Instructions
  1. In an everyday pan bring ½ cup of water over medium to medium high heat.
  2. Add chicken breasts, cover and reduce heat to low to medium heat. Cook for 30 minutes.
  3. Shred cheese and lettuce. Chop olives, tomatoes, avocado and fresh cilantro. Quarter lime.
  4. Remove liquid from pan and move chicken to a cutting board and slice chicken. Return to pan and add ½ cup of the Green Chile Sauce. Add additional salt and pepper to your liking if desired.
  5. Heat a fry pan and griddle over medium to high heat. Add a tortilla to the pan and when it puffs up flip it over. Lightly blister the tortilla and then remove it from the heat.
  6. Add the warm chicken down the center of the warm tortilla and ¼ to ½ cup of shredded cheese. Fold sides in and then tightly roll the tortilla up.
  7. Ladle a little less than 1 cup of sauce over the burrito and then sprinkle with cheese. Place in a hot oven or microwave for 40 seconds to melt the cheese.
  8. Serve with rice or beans and add lettuce, tomatoes, olives, green onions, avocado, and chopped cilantro on both sides of the burrito.
  9. Garnish with sour cream if desired and fresh limes.
