When you need a burrito

Today I needed a burrito. Since we have a bajillion kids and one on the way, there will be no eating out in our near future. But I really wanted a burrito so I decided I would make one. Now I am not about to start a cooking blog, but when something comes together you just wanna share. I like when people post recipes with pictures. So that is what I did. Here is the group of seasonings I dumped on my chicken in no order or measurable quantity.

I am so awesome at writing recipes.

Here is my chicken in my magical enamel covered cast iron pot of wonder. Yes its frozen.

Don't judge.

So, as I said, I dumped seasonings onto the chicken covered it with water, stuck the lid on and walked away. When I remembered I was cooking something I came back and looked. It had probably been about an hour and a half. That is why this pot is magic. It looks out for me.

I yanked the whole chicken pieces out and shredded them. Then I tossed them back into the pot while I started on my rice.

Here is what I have learned about making rice. It always goes better when you saute the rice in butter first. It helps it not stick together. So there is the butter and next the rice goes in.

That is my favorite spoon. Just some fun trivia for you. So I stir the rice around and then add a packet of sazon. You let it cook until its done and then squeeze a generous amount of cilantro in there and fluff away. My friend turned me onto these squeezy herbs and they are a life saver.

Then you assemble the burritos. I put the chicken and beans inside and melted some cheese on top like they do in the restaurants. They I added the tiniest bit of salsa and sour cream. This of course isn't my plate. I would never eat this much food at one sitting. This is actually enough for a small village.

All the people I feed (the small village I prepared this for) thought this was tasty. I even got a bite or two. Then I walked my dogs around the neighborhood. I can't be held responsible when burritos are involved.
