Chicken Burritos
Burritos are just great fun to throw together. They are also a
wonderful way to use up several ingredients that we haven't been able to
use in meals earlier in the week. For tonight's meal, we poached some
chicken last night and used up some peppers and mushrooms that we still had
in the fridge.

We heat the olive oil in a large pan. We add the onions and saute until they are translucent. Next we add the peppers, cooking for a few more minutes. We add the mushrooms, sauteeing until tender. Finally, we add the garlic and chili powder and cook for a minute. We add a little chicken stock and the chicken, heating for a couple of minutes to warm up the the chicken strips.
We cover a plate with a paper towel and put the tortillas on top. We cover the tortillas with another paper towel and cook in the microwave for a minute.
We serve the chicken mixture over the warm tortillas with the lettuce, sour cream, salsa and a squeeze of lime.
