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

Method

  • 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.
