Instant Chicken Burritos in a Jar





This recipe started out as a beloved crock pot recipe that I have been making for years.  It is SO simple and flavorful!  But sometimes...you want that same simple flavor in 15 minutes instead of 8 hours...so I converted it to a meal in a jar recipe.  

I love the versatility of this recipe because you can serve it in a burrito, on top of chips as a taco salad, or any other related serving.  It's yummy no matter how it's served!

Instant Chicken Burritos in a jar
By Sabrina Winder – serves 6

1 1/2 c. instant pinto beans
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. diced green chili peppers
1 T. chicken bouillon
1 T. cumin
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1 T. chili powder
1 1/4 c. chopped chicken

Measure all of the ingredients in the order listed, into a wide mouth quart sized mason jar.  Place a new oxygen absorption packet in the top of the jar, then put on a new lid and ring.  Store away from light and heat to ensure a longer shelf life.

Remove oxygen absorber packet, then dump contents of the jar into a pot with 3 1/2 cups of water and stir together.  Bring to a boil, then turn down to medium heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes or beans are soft.

Serve as a filling in burritos, or on top of chips, with shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes & lettuce, sour cream & guacamole.
