Ingredients

4 cups Rotisserie Chicken (cooked)
1 15 ounce can Pinto Beans, drained and gently rinsed
¼ cup Salsa, chunky and mild
8 cups Iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
2 cups Brown Rice, cooked
1 cup Corn, organic, defrosted from frozen
1 large Avocado, peeled and sliced
2 cups Cherry Tomatoes, cut in half
2 Green Onion, white part only, thinly sliced
3 large Flour Tortillas, cut into 1" slices lengthwise
½ tsp salt
3 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Lime, cut in wedges for serving
½ cup Sour Cream See tips
¼ cup Fresh Parsley or Cilantro, chopped for serving
SALSA RANCH DRESSING
½ cup Ranch Dressing (store bought)
½ cup Salsa, chunky and mild

Instructions

Cut the rotisserie chicken by pulling back the skin and removing the meat with a paring knife, carefully using your fingers to pull the meat off the bone. Chop or shred to make 4 cups.
Drain and rinse the pinto beans, place in a medium-sized bowl. Add the ¼ cup salsa to the beans and carefully toss together. Set aside.
Prep the iceberg lettuce by removing the outside leaves and cutting the head in half, then half again. Cut in 1-2” shreds to make 8 cups.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, shred the cheese and drain the corn from the can. Set these ingredients aside while you cook the tortillas.
Cut the flour tortillas in 1” long slices. Using a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil in the pan and add the tortillas in 1 or 2 batches, keeping them flat and not crowded. Cook until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Turn with a spatula for another minute or so, remove from oil, lightly salt and set paper towels until ready to use.
Salsa Ranch Dressing: Combine Ranch Dressing salsa in a bowl and mix together. Serve alongside the buritto bowls.
To Assemble:
Add 2 cups of iceberg lettuce to the bottom of a wide serving bowl, spoon a ½ cup of rice next to the lettuce.
Add a cup of the shredded rotisserie chicken in the center of each bowl
Divide the pinto bean mixture into each bowl (about a ¼ cup for each serving)
Add ¼ cup each of shredded cheese and corn to each bowl
Divide the avocado cherry tomatoes between the bowls
Garnish with green onion, cooked tortilla strips, sour cream, parsley and cut limes
Serve with salsa ranch dressing on the side.
