Frozen Cheesy Chicken & Rice Burritos
Taco-seasoned chicken, cilantro lime rice, and a creamy cheesy filling all wrapped up and waiting in your freezer - eighteen burritos ready to crisp up in the air fryer whenever you need them. Makes 18 burritos at 445 calories and 32g of protein each!
Per burrito (makes 18):
445 Calories
32g Protein
52g Carbs
12g Fat
UPDATE: I specifically used RightRice (not white rice, sounds similar in the voiceover) which cooks differently than normal rice. If you are using normal white rice - I’d recommend cooking separately (it’ll be ~400g dry weight) since it seems like people are having issue fully cooking their rice in the slow cooker
Ingredients:
48oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 taco seasoning packets
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
15oz can of green enchilada sauce (~420g)
Garlic and salt to taste
High: 2-3 hours
OR
Low: 3-4 Hours
2 bags RightRice (I used cilantro lime)
2 cups of water
5 diced roma tomatoes
3 diced jalapeños
2 diced white onions
1 bunch chopped cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
500g 0% Greek yogurt (I recommend FAGE)
150g reduced fat cheddar
120g reduced fat mozzarella
If filling is too hot/not thick - place in fridge or freezer until thickened. This will make rolling burritos 100x easier. Weigh the entirety of your filling and divide by 18 to evenly distribute filling across each burrito.
Reheat instructions (preferred method):
Wrap in paper towel, microwave 1:15, flip and microwave another 1:15. It should be defrosted but not warmed all the way through. Add to oven or air fryer at 400 degrees until tortilla begins to brown and is slightly crispy, 6-10 minutes (will be faster in air fryer)
These will stay good in the freezer for 3+ months!
