“Wet Burrito” Cedar Park, 2022
Our family loves burritos! We recently enjoyed some at Alfredo’s and Mi Burrito in Southern California, and also often get them at Freebirds and Chipotle near our house here in Texas. So when I was asked to use up some chicken breasts that are taking up space in the freezer, burritos came to mind.
Chicken breasts tend to be too dry and tough for us, but cooking them in the Instant Pot keeps them juicy and tender. And it’s so easy! I just added the four large chicken breasts to the pot with a can of fire-roasted tomatoes, a cup of water, some cumin, garlic, salt, pepper, and a few canned chipotles, set the Instant Pot for 30 minutes at high pressure, and voila! Tender and flavorful chicken ready for shredding.
Assembling the burritos was easy and fun, and left up to the individual to do. For tonight’s meal, I just put extra-large flour tortillas, diced onion, cilantro, cheese, salsas, sour cream, avocado, jalapeño peppers, refried beans, rice, and both red and green enchilada sauces on the table.
The burritos were not very hot though, so we microwaved them, topped them with enchilada sauces and cheese, then popped them under the broiler for a minute to make restaurant-style wet burritos. 🌯❤️
Super good! And we have plenty of leftover fixings for a second dinner tomorrow. 😀
Here’s Koa’s plate. It’s amazing how much teenagers can eat!

Yum! I’ve heard of Alfredo’s since high school, but I’ve never gone there. Heard good things about it, though! Your burritos look delicious…and very filling!
They look great!
