Ingredients
10 oz. Diced Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
8 oz. Cooked White Rice
4 fl. oz. Cream Sauce Base
2 Large Flour Tortillas
4 oz. Pepper and Onion Mix
4 oz. Fire Roasted Salsa Verde
1 oz. Shredded Cheddar-Jack Cheese
2 tsp. Taco Seasoning
How to make it
1
Place the pepper and onion mix in a provided tray in a single layer. Bake uncovered at 375°F for 8 minutes. Continue with the recipe while the vegetables bake.
2
Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt and pepper. After 8 minutes, remove the tray from the oven. Add the chicken, 1 tsp. olive oil, and a pinch of salt; stir to combine. Bake uncovered until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches 165°F, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven; drain any excess liquid. Stir in half the taco seasoning, cream base, half the salsa (to taste; reserve the rest for serving), and cheese until combined. Bake again uncovered until the sauce is heated through and the cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes. Continue with the recipe while the filling bakes.
3
Massage the rice in its bag to break up any clumps. Combine the rice, remaining taco seasoning, and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave uncovered until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Rest 2 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel; microwave until warm, 30-60 seconds. Lay the tortillas flat and divide the rice and chicken-queso filling between them. Fold the sides toward the center, then roll the bottom edge up tightly to form burritos. Halve if desired and serve with the remaining salsa on the side.

★ Rate this meal & add your photo →A burrito you assemble yourself, with the queso as the selling point. The 41g protein at 640 calories is a genuinely good ratio for anything wrapped in a flour tortilla. The name is silly; the macro math isn't. This is the kind of meal where the kit format beats restaurant takeout on both numbers and cost — a fair benchmark meal if you're deciding whether Home Chef fits a cutting phase.
