Spicy Ricey Chicken Burritos

I really enjoy food with a little kick to it. Here's a quick and easy recipe that I concocted the other day while trying to prepare dinner without having to go to the store.

Spicy Ricey Chicken Burritos

Ingredients
  • 1-1 1/2 lbs of chicken breasts (depends on how many mouths you're feeding)
  • Cumin Powder (lightly dusted over the chicken - to taste)
  • 1/2 sweet onion (slivered)
  • 2 cups - shredded cheddar
  • Chopped jalapenos, to taste (start with a tablespoon and keep tasting)
  • Large tortilla shells
  • Cooking oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 cups of cooked white rice
Directions
  • Start your rice (either the conventional way or in a rice cooker - I recommend the Rival 6 cup rice cooker)
  • Saute chicken, onion, and cumin in a saute pan until chicken is cooked through and onions are transparent.
  • Drain, then simmer chicken and onion mixture
  • In a sauce pan, add milk, cheese, and jalapeno sauce - bring to a boil then remove from heat.
  • Combine jalapeno cheddar sauce and chicken/onion mixture.
  • Cover and cook on low for another 20 minutes.
  • When you're ready to serve it up - add one layer of rice and one layer of the chicken/onion/meat cheese mixture.
  • Top with additional cheese, sour cream, or any of your other favorite condiments.
I served the burritos with this cornbread recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Grandmothers-Buttermilk-Cornbread/Detail.aspx

** I added about 2 Tablespoons of honey to the above cornbread recipe. It made the bread nice and moist!
