Chicken burrito: a recipe for a Mexican dish. Chicken burrito: a recipe for a Mexican dish Wheat tortilla - a recipe in a frying pan

Burrito is a famous Mexican dish that consists of a traditional Mexican tortilla and filling.

Burrito is a dish for those who love creativity, so don’t limit yourself in choosing ingredients - try something new.

Chicken breasts - 2 pcs. (pre-boil in salted water)
Sweet bell pepper - 1 pc.
Fresh tomatoes - 2 pcs.
Fresh champignons - 200 g (or 1 can of salted ones)
Onions - 2-3 heads (it is better to use red)
Parsley - 1 bunch
Garlic - 1−2 cloves
Vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. spoons
Cheese - 150 g (semi-hard varieties)
Armenian lavash - 6 pcs. (you can use tortillas)
Ketchup - 2 tbsp. spoons
Mayonnaise - 1 tbsp. spoon
Pepper

Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Boiled chicken breast fillet - cubes. Sweet pepper - medium pieces. Finely chop the parsley. Tomatoes - cut into cubes. Grate the cheese. Finely chop the garlic. If the mushrooms are fresh, cut them crosswise into thin slices, but if they are canned, cut into pieces, then you don’t need to do anything.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion. Add finely chopped garlic and fry it all for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Add chicken, stir and fry for 2-3 minutes.

Add mushrooms. If you use raw champignons, increase the frying time to 5 minutes. Mix.

It's time to add the chopped tomatoes. Mix everything and fry for 2-3 minutes.

Next, add chopped parsley. Without greens, the burrito will not be as flavorful and beautiful! Stir and simmer a little - 2-3 minutes. That's it, the burrito filling is ready. Now comes the important part: the burrito filling.

The burrito folding deserves special attention. I tried to make it as clear as possible. Unroll the pita bread (or tortilla) and put the filling in the middle, which needs to cool slightly. Cover the top with lavash and pull it to the edge. Then we wrap the edges on the right and left and fold it into an envelope. Next, wrap the entire pita bread completely. The burrito is ready.

We also make all the pita breads. Sprinkle grated cheese on top of the burrito. And put it in the oven or microwave (you can use the grill function - this will make the cheese more rosy).

Remove the burrito from the microwave (or oven). Apply a pattern on top with mayonnaise and ketchup.

Recipe 2: Mexican Turkey Burrito with Cheese

200 gr. Turkey fillet
2 pcs. Tortilla
50 gr. Green
80 gr. Tomato puree
50 gr. Cheese
Pepper
80 gr. Beans
50 gr. Bulb
Chili ground

Remove the veins from the meat and cut it into small, oblong pieces.

After this, you need to fry the chicken pieces along with finely chopped garlic until the meat turns golden brown.

Once the turkey fillet reaches the desired color, you need to add red beans and chili peppers to it. You can also add some other spices, such as half a teaspoon of curry.

Add chopped bell pepper here, simmer the resulting mass for 5 minutes and add 200 grams of tomato paste.

Simmer the resulting mixture for 5-10 minutes and add finely chopped greens.

As soon as our burrito filling is ready, you need to put it on tortillas or pita bread and wrap it in the form of envelopes.

If desired, you can sprinkle the finished burritos with grated cheese and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 5-7 minutes.

Our burrito is ready! As you can see, the burrito recipe is very simple and it will take you no more than 30 minutes to prepare a delicious dish. But you can diversify your table with another tasty and healthy dish. Bon appetit!

¡Hola, amigos! (Ola, amigos! - hello, friends!) Today I will delight you with real Mexican cuisine and offer a stunning chicken burrito recipe. You don't know what a burrito is? Can you imagine shawarma? Warm, juicy, meaty, basically the same as they sell in the subway.

So, a burrito is very similar to this Arabic dish, and in principle it can be called Mexican shawarma. There is also a meat filling with vegetables, wrapped in a thin wheat flatbread - tortilla (not to be confused with pita bread). Only the filling in a burrito is much more varied and satisfying, well, you’ll see for yourself.

Burrito with vegetables and chicken in homemade tortilla

Before I tell you how to prepare this Mexican treat, I will intrigue you and tell you that at the end of the recipe you will learn as many as 4 more dishes prepared on the basis of burritos.

So, the Mexican one is conditionally divided into 3 stages:

bake tortilla;
prepare the filling;
roll up the flatbread.

Wheat flatbread - recipe in a frying pan

If you have the opportunity to buy ready-made tortillas at the store, you are in luck, since there is no need to fuss with flour. But if you doubt its quality, then let’s prepare your own flatbread at home.

Ingredients:

Wheat flour - 330-350 gr.
Water - 170-200 ml.
Butter - 50 gr.
Salt - ½ teaspoon

I had enough of this quantity for 7 cakes with a diameter of about 24 cm.

Sift the flour with a sieve and mix with salt.

Cut the cold butter into pieces. Pour some of the flour into a blender and add butter. Grind the mass.

Heat the water well, but do not bring it to a boil. Pour the hot liquid into the flour, stirring continuously.

Knead the dough thoroughly with your hands. It will be sticky and lumpy at first. Continue kneading for 10-12 minutes, until the mass is completely smooth. The elastic dough will become pliable and stop sticking to your hands and the table.

Divide the entire dough into 7 equal pieces. Roll them into balls and leave them under a towel to rest for 15 minutes.

Advice. If you bake flatbreads in a frying pan with a larger or smaller diameter, then adjust the number of balls yourself.

Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin pancake the size of the bottom of the frying pan.

Fry the tortilla in a hot dry frying pan without oil. Better. if the dishes have a thick bottom.

When one side of the tortilla is toasted and the other side facing you is slightly darkened, turn it over to fry the other side. On average, you will get 2 minutes to fry.

Stack the finished tortillas on top of each other. It looks like a flatbread, but it turns out much tastier. And if you wrap the products in cling film, they will lie for several days and still remain appetizing and tasty.

Preparing poultry stuffing with vegetables and beans

The traditional filling for a Mexican burrito is, of course, beans. It is included in both vegetarian and meat fillings. Its frequent companions are corn and pepper, and all other ingredients are added according to taste and desire. So we will prepare our own filling based on classic ingredients.

chicken fillet - 400 gr.
Cheese - 200 gr.
Canned beans - 150 gr.
Canned corn - 150 gr.
Tomato - 1 pc.
Bell pepper - 1 pc.
Garlic - 2-3 cloves.
Ground chili - ½ teaspoon.
Salt - to taste.

Note. Please note, which I cook with beans that are already canned in tomato sauce. If you take regular white beans, then for a tomato taste, increase the amount of fresh tomatoes to 2-3 pcs. By the way, canned tomatoes in their own juice are also suitable for this dish.

Cut the chicken fillet and bell pepper into medium strips. Pre-clean the pepper from membranes and seeds.

Mash the fresh tomato with a fork into a paste or, as I did, grind it with a blender.

Fry the garlic cloves in a small amount of vegetable oil. When it changes color, transfer it completely to a plate.

Using the remaining garlic oil, fry the chicken fillet pieces until golden brown. For better roasting of meat, it should be cooked over medium heat and added in small portions.

Return the garlic to the browned pieces and add strips of bell pepper. Mix the ingredients and sauté for 4-5 minutes.

Then put the beans and corn into the frying pan. Sauté together for 2-3 minutes.

Add tomato puree. Season the filling with salt and chili powder. Mix everything.

Add cheese to the filling last. It should be a hard variety that melts well.

Gently stir the cheese among the remaining ingredients. Once it's completely melted, our burrito filling is fully cooked and ready to fold.

Forming Mexican shawarma

Prepare the surface for rolling the burrito. I cooked on a large flat dish, but someone might find it convenient on the table.

Place 3 tablespoons of filling onto the flatbread. Place it closer to the right side of the tortilla.

Fold the bottom of the cake over, and then overlap the right edge. Do as shown in the photo.

The appetizing shawarma from Mexico is ready. A complete dish with vegetables and meat can replace lunch and feed many hungry guests. The beauty of a burrito is that you can fill it according to your immediate preferences.

Promised additional recipes for tacos, fajitas, chimichangas and enchiladas

Fajita. We prepare and fry each type of filling separately. Place all ingredients on plates. In this case, the number of ingredients can be increased by adding rice, avocado, and other vegetables. Tortillas and plates of fillings are served on the table, and each guest chooses his own fajita composition and decides what he will wrap in a tortilla.
Taco. A mild version of an already famous dish. We prepare a burrito, only we make a much smaller tortilla. Place the filling in the middle of the flatbread and serve open. Tacos are eaten with your hands, slightly bending the tortilla in half.
Chimichanga. Prepare as described in the recipe. We wrap the burrito in a completely closed envelope so that the filling does not show through anywhere. Deep fry the product.
Enchilada. We prepare chimichanga, only we bake the tortillas from corn flour. The dish is served with chili sauce.

¡Apetito agradable! Bon appetit!

Good day, dear readers! In today's article, you will be presented with a cooking method and recipe for a chicken burrito at home.

What is a burrito? In fact, this dish is the Mexican analogue of the well-known shawarma. In fact, this culinary product is a pita bread or flatbread in which all kinds of ingredients are wrapped. Cooked in a corn tortilla or pita bread, these dishes have different names, but in general they are all burritos. You can grab either flatbread or pita bread and it’s time to start cooking!

Ingredients:

1. Lavash or flatbread – 1 piece

2. Meat – 1 kilogram

3. Onions – 2 pieces

5. Garlic – 7 cloves

6. Canned beans – 1 can

7. Salt, spices - to taste

8. Tomatoes – 3 pieces

9. Bell pepper – 2 pieces

10. Lettuce leaf – 1 bunch

11. Herbs – cilantro or to taste

12. Cheese (cheddar) – 250 grams

13. Starch - optional

14. Milk – 250 ml

Cooking method:

1. Prepare the ingredients and start with the onions. Take a medium sized onion and chop it quite finely.

2. Next, finely chop two hot peppers. Keep in mind that the hottest parts are the membranes inside the pepper and the seeds. If you want to make your dish spicier, you can use both seeds and membrane.

Follow safety precautions! While cutting peppers and after, do not touch your eyes and nose, and after cutting, wash your hands thoroughly.

3. Next thing, finely chop the garlic, just chop it, and don’t crush it with a garlic press.

4. Cut the meat, it is advisable to take a whole piece rather than minced meat for a more pleasant texture. It is worth cutting into thin strips.

5. Let's prepare the sauteing. First, put the onion in a frying pan and cook until transparent.

6. After the onion is slightly fried, add garlic and hot pepper and keep for about one minute.

7. Next, put the meat in a frying pan, reduce the heat and fry until the meat is half cooked.

8. Now add salt and pepper to your taste and bring to a state of complete readiness.

10. Place half a can of crushed beans and half a can of whole beans in a frying pan and mix.

Salsa:

11. Let's prepare salsa. Take the tomatoes and remove the juice and seeds from them and cut them into cubes.

12. Take the second onion and chop it finely.

13. We also add finely chopped hot pepper to the salsa, but it is worth considering that the amount is added to taste.

14. After all this, we’ll chop our bell pepper, which will add massiveness and flavor to the sauce. We will also finely chop the cilantro.

15. Important! Olive oil and cilantro must be added at the very end, otherwise the flavor will be lost. Place the onion in a frying pan and cook until transparent.

16. After this, add tomatoes and hot peppers, mix it all, add salt and pepper to taste.

17. Add herbs, bell pepper and pour olive oil.

Although salsa is called a sauce, in fact it is just chopped vegetables, and for a rich taste, we will prepare a special cheese sauce.

Cheese sauce:

18. Chop the tomatoes, smaller than in the salsa, as well as the garlic.

19. Let's grate the cheese on a coarse grater, so it will dissipate faster in our sauce.

20. Place the garlic and tomatoes in a frying pan and let simmer lightly.

21. Add milk, bring it to a boil and add spices.

22. When the milk has boiled, we will add the cheese and stir constantly so that the cheese spreads over the entire surface.

23. Let’s make the starch mixture and at the moment when the cheese has spread, so that the sauce thickens, also add pepper and salt.

24. Heat a sheet of pita bread on each side in a frying pan for about 10-15 seconds.

We collect:

25. Let's start assembling our burrito. Place a couple of lettuce leaves on the pita bread. This will prevent the pita bread from softening and falling apart.

26. Lay out the filling, but don’t overdo it, because otherwise you simply won’t be able to roll up our burrito.

27. Add salsa on top, and also pour cheese sauce over all our filling.

28. Now it’s time to roll up our burrito, roll it into a “tube”, while slightly pressing it under you. You can fold the edges in the middle so that the filling does not fall out.

An inexperienced cook may be put off by manipulating pita bread, but don’t, to simplify the task, you can take a round flatbread with a “pocket.” Before putting the filling inside, dry the flatbread in a frying pan by adding a drop of oil to it. Next, cut off the top of the flatbread and begin adding the filling.

Burrito is a dish of Mexican cuisine. The dish was loved not only by Mexicans. It is prepared throughout South and North America and is consumed along with hot dogs.

The origin of the word “burrito” itself is interesting. Literally translated, it means “little donkey.” Why this is so is unknown. Maybe because, like a small donkey, a tortilla can “carry” a large “load” in the form of filling. Or maybe because, in appearance, the Mexican burrito is somewhat reminiscent of a donkey’s ear.

To make a burrito we need a thin tortilla. A variety of fillings are wrapped in a tortilla: minced meat, rice, beans, cheese, tomatoes, pieces of meat, avocado, lettuce and herbs. This Mexican chicken burrito is best paired with a spicy tomato chili sauce.

Tortillas for burritos are made from corn or wheat flour. It is advisable to use the freshest, freshly prepared tortillas. Mexican tortillas are usually small in size. But the American ones are quite large. Therefore, be guided only by your preferences, since there is no single standard for preparing burritos, neither in size nor in filling.

Burrito ingredients:

Tortillas - 8 pcs.
Chicken fillet - 250 g.
Sunflower oil - 2 tbsp.
Garlic - 4 cloves
Ketchup “Chili” - 6 tbsp. (or to taste)
Canned red beans - 1 can (400 g)
Hard cheese - 60 g.
Bell pepper - 3-4 pcs.
Ground black pepper - to taste
Seasonings (curry, turmeric, paprika) - to taste
Salt - to taste

For lovers of Mexican cuisine and those who sympathize with it! If you like spicy food, then today is for you burrito recipe Mexican dish (b) urrito or burritos translated as “donkey” and prepared with different fillings).

So I propose to cook “donkeys”.

I love spicy foods, and if you don't like them that much, you can adjust the heat percentage in the burrito with the amount of hot red chili pepper in the dish. Or don't use it at all.

As I already said, the filling can be different. Today we are making chicken burritos.

So, let's get to the point.

Ingredients

2 chicken fillets
0.5 red hot chili pepper
1 bell pepper
2 tomatoes
1 onion
1 bunch of parsley
50-100 g hard cheese
1-2 Armenian thin lavash
A pinch of Italian herbs
Vegetable oil for frying

How to make a burrito

Clean the chicken fillet from fat, wash, dry and cut into small pieces. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry the chicken fillet until golden brown.

While the fillet is frying, fry the bell pepper. It needs to be fried, sparingly, until black, since then we will remove the skin from it. As soon as it has turned completely unattractive and blackened on all sides, remove it from the heat and put it in a plastic bag, and tie it for 5-10 minutes so that the skin comes off and is easier to remove.

Separately, cut the onion into half rings and finely chop the hot chili pepper, or rather half of it.

When the chicken fillet is browned, remove it from the heat, transfer it from the frying pan to a plate, and fry the onion in the same oil until transparent.

Then add chopped chili pepper to it, then fried chili pieces and cut into pieces after removing the skin and removing the seeds from the bell pepper.

Season this entire mixture with salt and pepper and continue to simmer over low heat.

In the meantime, wash and cut the tomatoes and remove the seeds.

Finely chop the remaining part.

Finely chop the parsley.

Mix tomatoes with parsley and add salt and a pinch of Italian herbs.

Grate hard cheese.

And put the filling on each part: first a mixture of chicken fillet with onions and peppers, then parsley with tomatoes and finally grated hard cheese.

Then roll the lavash with filling into a tube.

And do this with each piece of lavash.

Place the resulting tubes with filling on a baking sheet and place in a preheated oven for 3-5 minutes. Just to let the cheese melt.

Do not grease the baking sheet with anything and do not keep it in the oven for a long time, because the pita bread will dry out and become hard.

Remove from oven and serve. For me, this is a separate appetizer or main course. But you can serve it with fried potatoes, salad or boiled rice.

Here is a recipe for a homemade Mexican burrito.
