Smothered Honey Lime Chicken Burritos

Ingredients 

  • 1 Package Fresh Flour Tortillas
  • 1 Rotisserie Chicken meat removed and shredded
  • 1/4 Cup Lime Juice
  • 1/3 Cup Honey
  • 6 Cloves of Garlic minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 2 Cups Cooked Cilantro Lime Rice
  • 1-2 Cup Shredded Colby Jack Cheese
  • 1-2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 Can Pinto Beans drained and warmed
  • Salsa or Pico de Gallo for serving
  • Cilantro chopped for garnish

For the Sauce

  • 1 16 ounce Jar Herdez Salsa Verde
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream or to taste

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, garlic and chili powder. Add in the chicken and toss to coat. Place in the fridge for 15-30 minutes, covered with plastic wrap.
  • Prepare the rice and beans.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the slasa verde and heavy cream. Set aside.
  • Heat the tortillas until pliable. Fill with rice, beans, chicken, and a sprinkle of colby jack cheese. Fold up both ends and roll tightly to close.
  • Place the burritos on a baking sheet and spoon the sauce over each one. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or we like to have the fillings all warm and then just stick the burritos under a broiler to melt the cheese.
  • Serve with pico de gallo, cilantro or even sour cream
