Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can buy a ready-made tortilla, or you can bake it yourself. When packing, carefully look at the expiration date and check that the package is intact, otherwise the tortillas may dry out and it will be problematic to wrap them. Take the cheese that melts well.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Cut the chicken fillet into thinner pieces. The thinner they are, the faster the fillet will be ready. Boil for 15 minutes after boiling. Cool down a little.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Peel and rinse the onion and garlic. Cut the onion into thin half rings. So it will quickly get ready and keep its shape. Cut the garlic across the cloves into thin plates. Wash the tomatoes, remove the stalks. If tomatoes have a hard skin (as is usually the case with "winter"), remove it. Cut them into small cubes to cook faster.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Heat a frying pan, carefully pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on it. Fry the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, over high heat for 3-4 minutes.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Add tomatoes, 3 tablespoons of bean sauce to the pan. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Cut the chicken into small cubes and put it in a frying pan. Drain the remaining sauce from the beans, it will no longer be useful. Drain the liquid from the corn, too. Add the beans and corn to the pan.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Rinse and chop the greens. Add salt and spices to taste. Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper). Add the chopped herbs and, after mixing well, remove from the heat.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. So it will melt well and will not crumble when twisting a burrito.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Heat the tortilla cake a little in a frying pan so that it becomes softer. Put a fourth of the filling and cheese on it.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Roll up the tortilla, bending the edges. Lubricate the resulting burrito with vegetable oil on both sides.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Transfer to a dry frying pan. Preheat on low-medium heat for about 5 minutes on both sides. If the filling has completely cooled down, it will take more time.

Burritos according to this recipe turn out to be very satisfying and delicious. For me, a lover of bread, the filling turns out very much. You can serve it with various sauces. But I like it without anything.

How easy is it to peel tomatoes? Wash them, make criss-cross incisions on top with a sharp knife. Put it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove, cool slightly and remove the skin.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.

How to buy canned corn correctly? Be sure to check the expiration date on the jar. If the container is glass, carefully consider the grains. They should be the same size and color, solid and spotless. The composition should not contain dyes, preservatives and flavor enhancers.
