Introduction

I made these up to try to taste like Cafe Rio's burritos. I think they taste pretty good! My children (3 and 6) gobbled them up and even asked for seconds!

Ingredients

    2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
    1 cup carrots, chopped
    1 cup celery, diced
    1/2 cup onion, chopped
    1 Can Chicken Broth
    1 small can Green Chili Peppers
    1 Pkg Salad Magic Zesty Italian Salad Dressing & Marinade Mix
    1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
    2 cups water
    2-3 Tbsp Lime Juice
    5 tsp sugar
    1 Tbsp Cilantro, chopped
    1 Can Green Enchilada Sauce
    8 Tortillas (We use whole wheat)
    1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

In a Crockpot, combine chicken, carrots, celery, onion, broth, 2/3 of the chili pepper can, and salad dressing mix. Cook for 4-6 hours. When it is finished, shred the chicken and add it back to the sauce it was cooking in. Set aside. Cook rice according to package directions (I put it in my rice cooker) with lime juice, the rest of the chili peppers, water, sugar, and cilantro. (I also added a little cilantro to the chicken.) To assemble burritos, use an 8x10 casserole dish. Pour about half of the enchilada sauce on the bottom after spraying with cooking spray. Heat each tortilla in the microwave for 10 sec, and then set in the dish. Place the rice in the middle of the tortilla, and set some chicken mixture on top of that. Roll up with all sides tucked. Repeat. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce on put together burritos and cover with cheese. Broil in the oven until cheese is melted and browning. Enjoy!
