Summer 2013 Cooking Series: Favorite Recipe 1

     In approximately two days, the northern hemisphere will enter into Summer 2013.  To celebrate the solstice, or Midsummer to my Celtic family, I will be posting some of my favorite summer recipes.  They may not be as much fun as crowning the "Oak King", but at least they will offer some new meal ideas for these long, sweltering days when a kitchen can get hotter than an "Alban Heruin" bonfire!
     Combining two of my great loves, cooking and traveling, this recipe brings a portion of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (who celebrated its 95th year as a city on May 31, 2013) to your home.  Incidentally, if you ever get a chance to visit the beautiful Puerto Vallarta, might I recommend La Ribera Restaurant...

 

 

Chicken Burritos

Recipe makes 4 servings.

 

3 cups of cooked, chopped chicken

 

1 (11/4-oz.) envelope taco seasoning mix

 

1 (16-oz.) can of refried beans

 

6 (8-inch) flour tortillas

 

1 (8-oz.) package of shredded sharp Cheddar chees

 

3 plum tomatoes, diced

 

1 small onion, diced (I am a really big fan of green onions over regular.)

 

ON THE SIDE SUGGESTIONS:  salsa verde, salsa, sour cream

 

INSTRUCTIONS:  Place the chicken and seasoning mix in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; seal and shake the sucker to coat!

     Spread the refried beans evenly down the center of the flour tortillas.  Top this with the chicken, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and diced onion; roll them up.  Then, wrap each burrito in foil.

     Bake those little rolled-up goodies at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes.  Serve them with the salsa and sour cream.  Enjoy!  Ole!
