Burritos

Taco, burrito, what's comin' outta your speedo?
.... Anyone? Anyone?
....SNL circa 1996
....alrighty then...

Last night I was determined to have Mexican for dinner. I had a mad craving that had to be taken care of.  Bring on the burritos baby. My husband and I could only eat one each and took the leftovers for lunch today -- chaaaa-ching! I will be making these bad boys again and again!

Yield:4 maaaaaaaaassive burritos

Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
Splash of olive oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 can refried beans
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup salsa
1 cup cooked rice (I used basmati and threw in a 1/4 cup of salsa into the water so it could be absorbed during cooking)

Sour cream, salsa and cheese to garnish

Method
Cook rice. Set aside. In a large frying pan warm olive oil over medium heat. Add ground chicken and spices.  Cook though (until the pink is gone).  Add salsa, refried beans and water. Mix everything well and cook for about 5 minutes, or until most water has evaperated.  Remove from heat and stir in rice. Serve on large soft tortillas.  Garnish with cheese, sour cream and/or salsa.  

Buen Provecho!
