Mexican Burrito Authentic Recipe Instructions

  1. Chop the garlic cloves and green onions. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, lightly drizzle with oil, then fry the garlic and green onions for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Cut the chicken fillet into 2-3 cm pieces. Add the chicken to the pan and fry over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (74°C / 165°F).
  3. Cut the bell pepper into strips. Add the peppers to the pan. Fry over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes if using fresh or whole canned tomatoes.
  4. Add the corn, beans, tomatoes, 0.5 teaspoon chili, and 0.25 teaspoon cumin to the pan. Stir and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes.
  5. Grate the hard cheese. Add to the pan and stir well. Cover with a lid and wait about 1-2 minutes for the cheese to melt, then stir and remove from heat.
  6. Place 3-4 tablespoons of filling on the edge of a tortilla. Fold the bottom edge up, then roll it tightly like a burrito. Wrap the bottom with foil or parchment paper before serving.
