The Ultimate Burrito

I cannot express how much my family loves Mexican food. It probably has something to do with being raised in the South and growing up on Tex-Mex food. In my house we love burrito night. I chop up a variety of veggies, Mexican herbs and encourage everyone to add generous toppings! This is how we make the ultimate burrito...

First, I use Santa Fe Refried Beans; I highly recommend this brand! They are a great alternative to canned or if you do not have time to make your own. If you cannot find this brand at your local grocery store click on the picture below for pricing and reviews at Amazon.com

 
They are dehydrated pinto beans, how cool is that?!
To prepare just follow the directions on the package.

I season the beans with:
1/2 cup of my favorite salsa
1/2 cup of shredded colby jack cheese
1 tsp diced jalapeños (optional)
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
(you can always start out with 1/4 tsp of garlic and onion powder and increase to your liking)
kosher salt and pepper to taste

Then, I brown 1lbs of ground chicken and add the following seasonings:
2 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cumin
kosher salt to taste

Next, I sauté yellow and orange bell peppers with purple onions.
 

At last, I chop up avocados, cilantro, cherry tomatoes, and shred colby jack cheese.


Finally, I layer all ingredients on top of a burrito size flour tortilla and enjoy this simple and nutritious dinner!
