Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa
- 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, chopped, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce from the can
- 1 14-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
- Kosher salt
- 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
- 1 1/3 cups cooked white rice, warmed
- 1 1/3 cups shredded monterey jack cheese (about 5 ounces)
- 1 1/3 cups shredded romaine lettuce
- Guacamole, for serving (optional)
Directions
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup pico de gallo, the chopped chipotle, and adobo sauce to taste; cook until the mixture starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the beans and 3/4 cup water; bring to a low boil, then stir in the chicken and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt.
Heat the tortillas as the label directs. Arrange the rice horizontally in the lower half of each tortilla, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on all sides. Top evenly with the cheese, chicken mixture, lettuce and the remaining pico de gallo.
Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla snugly over the filling, tuck in the sides and roll up tightly. Cut the burritos in half and serve with guacamole.

This is a very good base recipe. I didn't have rotisserie chicken so I used leftover chicken breast and a leg quarter which I roasted and took the skin off and shredded. I took the opportunity to add extra flavors by making my own guacamole using Alton Brown's recipe and instead of using plain rice, I made cilantro-lime rice. In order to cut down on calories, I left out the cheese. This will definitely be my go-to recipe for the next burrito night.

I loved these burritos! Instead of buying a rotisserie chicken, I pan-fried 3 chicken breasts and shredded them. I kept everything else the same and thought the flavors were reminiscent of the burritos at Chipotle restaurants! Be careful not to over-fill the burritos because the tortillas rip easily. Definitely recommend this recipe!
