Leftover Chili Breakfast Burritos Recipes

CHILI CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Arrange about 1/2 cup chili in the middle of the tortilla. Top with 1/2 cup rice and 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
• Fold two sides of the burrito in, then fold the remaining two sides over to form a small packet. Please seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
• Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat lightly with nonstick spray if desired. Heat the filled burritos on one side until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip and continue heating on the second side.
• Serve with salsa and sour cream if desired.

EASY CHILI CHEESE BURRITOS WITH LEFTOVER CHILI

Steps:

• Place the two tortillas on a flat surface, like a wooden cutting board.
• Strain the chili with a slotted spoon and place about ½ cup in the middle of each tortilla.
• Top with ¼ cup rice and ½ cup of Mexican cheese.
• Fold the burrito one side at a time, long side, short side, short side, long side. Place them seam-side down on a plate or the cutting board.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add two of the chili burritos, seam-side down, on the skillet. Heat for 3-5 minutes.
• Then use a spatula to flip to the other side. Place a lid on the skillet to speed up the warming process.
• The burritos are ready when they are warm and are just starting to brown.
• Repeat with the remaining two burritos.

LEFTOVER CHILI BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• 1. Scramble up some eggs, mix with a little water or milk to make them fluffy. Or, just scramble them and season with salt and pepper.
• 2. In a saucepan or microwave, heat your leftover chili.
• 3. Zap the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them soft.
• 4. Place a tortilla on a microwave-safe plate. Spoon some chili onto the middle of the tortilla being careful to leave enough tortilla edge to fold up into your burrito. (I would suggest using a slotted spoon. You don't want too much soupiness or it will soak right through the tortilla and make it doughy and fall apart.)
• 5. Layer some scrambled eggs on top of the chili. Then top with shredded cheese. Dollop with sour cream.
• 6. Roll up into burrito.
• 7. Put into microwave for about 30 seconds or long enough to melt the cheese.

CHILI PIE BURRITOS

Steps:

• For the chili: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the ground beef and brown, crumbling as you go, until cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the kidney beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes and green chiles, chili powder, salt and pepper, then bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer and thicken, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• For the burritos: Add about 1 cup chili to a tortilla, then top with grated Cheddar and some diced onion. Add a handful of corn chips and a dollop of sour cream. Tuck the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly, then set aside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil. In batches, toast the burritos until golden, about 1 minute per side.
