Chicken Cordon Bleu Burrito

Breaded chicken, ham, cheese is the tried and true combo so of course it burrito-izes. This is an easy way to bring elevated flavors to lunch or dinner.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Burrito
Ingredients: (serves 2)

2 tortillas
1 cup of rice, prepared
1 breaded chicken breast
2 slices of ham
2 slices of swiss
arugula or spinach
dijonaise/dijon + mayo

Directions:
Cook the rice and chicken.
Assemble the burrito with the tortillas, rice, greens, dijonaise, ham, cheese, and chicken.

Warm a pan to medium heat and spray with nonstick spray.
Roll up the tortilla folding the sides inward, then the front towards the end keeping the sides tucked tight.
Warm seam side down, and rotate to warm through.
Enjoy!

These are always a good use for leftover rice and just a few other ingredients.

Autumn Chicken Salad Restaurant Recreation

Finally a restaurant recreation! A local produce market/deli counter shares interesting or unusual orders on their Instagram stories that they have the manager try. I saw a chicken salad one that had so much going on, which is precisely my sandwich style. It was chicken salad, with cranberries, cheddar, bacon, apples, and honey mustard on an onion roll. I made a few tweaks but loved it nonetheless.

This is incredible and I don’t know why I haven’t put sharp cheddar on a chicken salad sandwich…plus the apples and cranberries are so fall. I couldn’t find the video to refresh my memory (of course) for a few details! I did skip the bacon as I felt it already had plenty happening here and it might get lost.

Autumn Chicken Salad Loaded Sandwich
Ingredients: (serves ~3)

1 chicken breast, fully cooked
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup cranberries
onion rolls
1-2 cups arugula
1 small apple
~3 slices of sharp white cheddar
2-3 tablespoons honey mustard

Directions:
Mix up the chicken salad with shredded chicken, mayo, salt/pepper, and cranberries.
Assemble your sandwiches on the onion rolls with a smear of mayo if desired, a bed of arugula, apple slices, chicken salad, and cheese.

Drizzle on the honey mustard.
Enjoy!

This is incredible. I love the chew of the dried cranberries and some sweet and tang from the honey mustard. The apples are great as slices or chopped into the chicken salad. The cheese might be a star here. We had garlic and herb cheddar and that was delightful.

Street Corn Burrito

I love to ask the question: will it burrito-ize? This hot wrap/burrito is vegetarian, full of flavor, and has great texture. It is a full meal from the rice and beans and has bright and creamy street corn, crunchy chips, and fresh from greens.

Streetcorn Burritos
Ingredients: (serves 2)

2 burrito-size flour tortillas
1 cup rice, cooked
1/2 cup white beans
1/2 cup street corn (corn + mayo + lime juice + cotija/feta + chili powder)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
greens (arugula or spinach)
2/3 cup corn chips

Directions:
Cook the rice and mix up the street corn.
Assemble the burrito by topping with cheese, then rice, beans, greens, street corn, and chips.

Warm a pan or griddle to medium heat.
Then carefully roll the burritos. Fold the sides in and tightly roll the burrito closed.
Pan fry to crisp the outside and melt the cheese. Start seam side down and rotate.

Enjoy!

Answer: yes, street corn will burrito-ize. It is always a good idea to make extra street corn and turn the leftovers into a burrito.
