Chicken Burritos with Sour Cream Sauce

When I was a little girl, our family frequented our favorite Mexican restaurant, El Chico, in Brookwood Village.  My dad's favorite dish was the Chicken Chimichanga with Sour Cream sauce.  El Chico closed down many, many years ago, but it continues to be the standard by which we judge all other Mexican restaurants.   Though we have found good chimichangas, we have yet to find one with that yummy sour cream sauce that El Chico had. Now, we don't really do fried foods here, it is just too messy and it makes the whole house smell like grease - no thank you!  Since a chimichanga is basically a fried burrito, I decided to make a recipe that could rival our long time loved El Chico dish.  Success has never tasted so Chewly Awesome!

Chicken Burrito's with Sour Cream Sauce

1 lb Chicken (cooked and shredded)
1 pkg Large Tortillas
1 cup of rice cooked as directed on package
1 can of black beans (optional)
1 7 oz can of Salsa de Jalapeno (found in the Mexican section of your grocery store)
1 tbsp Butter
1 Poblano Pepper seeded and diced
1 Jalapeno (if you want it to be hot!)
1 Medium Onion diced
1 8oz pkg Cream Cheese
2 cup Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Chicken Broth
2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Cumin
2 tsp Chili Powder

Sour Cream Sauce:
1 cup Sour Cream
1/2 stick Butter
1 tsp Garlic Powder

Preheat oven to 375 F
In a pan, melt 1 tbsp of Butter and saute Poblano pepper and Onion
Add your chicken, rice, black beans(If using), Salsa de Jalapeno, Cream Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, Spices and Chicken Broth.  Stir.

Prepare a 9x13 inch pan by spreading butter on the bottom.

On each tortilla, spoon about 1 1/2 cup of the chicken filling and roll it up - tucking the edges in.

Set each in the pan with the open end down.

If you have any filling left over, you can spread it on top of all the burritos.

Bake in the oven for 20 min.

Sour Cream Sauce:
On the stove top, melt butter, stir in sour cream and garlic powder.  Mix well.

When your chicken burritos are ready, serve them with the sour cream sauce on top.  Enjoy!!
