FAMILY BURRITO

There is no need to fill and fold individual burritos. With this whimsical method, you can make one giant burrito the whole family can share! I will write out the original recipe and give you my tricks.

Ingredients:
2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced(you need 16 slices. I only had 1 tomato, that is why I only had 9 slices in the picture.)
3 cups diced cooked chicken
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 lime (juiced)
3/4 cup chunky salsa
1 Tbsp southwestern seasoning
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 1/2 cup shredded cheese(I like to use a blend)
4 burrito size tortillas(11-11 1/2 inches)
1 (9oz) can of bean dip

Assorted toppings such as shredded lettuce, sliced olives, cilantro, and avocado lime sauce(recipe below)

1. Preheat oven to 425. In a microwave safe bowl combine chicken, onion, lime juice, salsa, southwest seasoning, and garlic. (my trick...I buy the pre-cooked southwestern chicken in the meat section in your grocery store. It is Foster farms. You don't have to add the seasoning if you use that because it is already on the chicken, but you need to chop it up because it comes in strips.)
2. Microwave chicken mixture 3-4 minutes or until hot, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese(save the other cup for the topping of the burrito.)
3. Arrange tortillas in an overlapping circular pattern on a baking sheet, covering most of the pan. (tortillas will extend off the baking sheet 5 inches or so) It will be like an envelope when you close it. Starting at the center, spread the bean dip over the tortillas forming a 10 x 10 inch square. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over the bean dip. Fold edges of tortillas up over the chicken mixture in an envelope pattern. (see picture 1-2)
4. Arrange 16 tomato slices in rows over the top of the burrito. Sprinkle remaining cup of cheese over burrito, covering completely. Bake 18-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are brown. Cut into rectangles and serve with assorted toppings.(My tip: I use a pizza cutter to cut up burrito. I make squares using tomato slices as a guide.)

Avocado lime sauce:
Mash 1 ripe avocado, stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1 Tbsp of lime juice, and 1/4 tsp of salt. This taste SO good on the burrito.
