Chicken Burrito with Pico de Gallo
From 'The Road to Mexico' by Rick Stein Whislt a Taco is open, and Burrito is closed, and contains everything within the tortilla; so theres no need for sides!
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, boned
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 200-250g cooked rice
- Guacamole
- Pico de Gallo Salsa
- Grated mozzarella, handful
- 4 tbsp soured cream
- ½ little gem lettuce, shredded
- For the Marinade:
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 60ml olive oil
- 1 heaped tsp oregano
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- Salt and Pepper
Recipe
- Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl, add the chicken thighs, then cover and leave them for 2 hours (or longer) in the fridge
- Seal the chicken thighs in a hot pan for a few minutes. When they are browned, add the marinade to the pan, cover and leave the chicken to cook through for 10-15 minutes.
- Slice the chicken into strips
- Lay the tortillas on a board and layer up the fillings – start with the rice, then add the guacamole, soured cream, and lettuce. Finally, add the Pico de Gallo salsa
- Fold up the bottom of each tortilla, then fold the sides in and roll the tortilla up to contain the filling.
