Don't know how many of you are familiar with the fresh mex burrito restaurant "Chipotle," but my husband and I were addicted to their chicken fajita burritos... Sadly, we moved to a new city where there are no "Chipotles" to be found. In such a dire situation, I experimented to come up with a similar tasting burrito. Here is the result--very close!
Chipotle Chicken Fajita Burrito
Lime Cilantro Rice -
Make 1 c. uncooked rice in the rice cooker (I add two cups water), adding the juice of one lime and 1Tb. sugar. Let rice cool to room temperature and add some chopped cilantro.
Chicken Fajita Mix
Cube 1 lb. chicken breast and combine with 1 c. diagonally sliced green onions, 2 tsp. vegetable oil, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. paprika, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. ground red pepper in a zip loc bag. Marinate in fridge for 20 minutes.
Thinly slice a green pepper and a red onion. Saute for 3 minutes or until very crisp tender. Remove from heat. Add chicken mixture and cook through.
Heat flour tortillas. Add chicken fajita mix, lime cilantro rice, sauteed veggies, some chopped serrano pepper, and shredded monterey jack cheese to tortilla and wrap to eat!
