Flour tortillas stuffed with honey lime shredded chicken, cilantro lime rice, and pinto beans, then smothered in a rich creamy salsa verde sauce and topped with melted Colby Jack and mozzarella. A bold, satisfying weeknight dinner that comes together fast thanks to rotisserie chicken.
Ingredients
For the Burritos:
- 1 package fresh flour tortillas
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ⅓ cup honey
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed and shredded
- 2 cups cooked cilantro lime rice
- 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and warmed
- 1–2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 1–2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salsa or pico de gallo, for serving
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
For the Sauce:
- 1 (16-ounce) jar Herdez salsa verde
- 1 cup heavy cream (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, combine lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and chili powder. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened and fragrant.
- Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the honey lime mixture. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until heated through.
- Warm the tortillas slightly so they’re pliable. Lay one flat and layer with cilantro lime rice, pinto beans, and a generous scoop of honey lime chicken. Top with a sprinkle of both cheeses, then roll tightly into a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Place burritos seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- In a bowl, stir together the salsa verde and heavy cream until combined. Pour the sauce evenly over all the burritos.
- Top generously with the remaining shredded Colby Jack and mozzarella.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden at the edges.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with salsa or pico de gallo.
Notes
- Warm your tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
- Use a rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor and minimum effort.
- Adjust the amount of heavy cream to make the sauce richer or lighter to your taste.
