Burros

Method

Burros

  1. 1

    Prep potatoes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook until lightly browned and almost tender, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add minced garlic; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Stir in ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper; toast spices with vegetables for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Pour in chicken broth; simmer until potatoes are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 6-8 minutes.

  6. 6

    Fold in shredded chicken; warm through and combine with the potato mixture. Drizzle lime juice and season to taste.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and fold in chopped cilantro.

  8. 8

    Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet. Spoon a portion of the chicken-potato mixture into each tortilla. Add optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and salsa as desired.

  9. 9

    Roll the burritos, seal, and serve immediately. This recipe makes 6 burritos.
