Chicken Burritos

To give the burritos a Buffalo-wing flair, omit the chili, cumin and chili powder and instead add ranch seasoning mix and Buffalo wing sauce. Stir the wing sauce to taste, a little at a time, when the cream cheese is starting to melt.

Ingredients:

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped jalapeno pepper, optional
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chili with beans
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
  • 8 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 24 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed
  • 6 cups shredded colby-monterey jack cheese
  • salsa, optional

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper; cook and stir until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually stir in broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes. Reduce heat; stir in tomatoes, seasonings and, if desired, jalapeno. Cook 5 minutes. Add chili and cream cheese; stir until cream cheese is melted. Stir in chicken.
  2. Spoon about 1/2 cup filling across center of each tortilla; sprinkle each with 1/4 cup Colby-Monterey Jack cheese. Fold bottom and sides over filling and roll up. Place in 2 greased 13x9-in. baking dishes.
  3. Bake, covered, 35-40 minutes or until heated through. If desired, serve with salsa.
