Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed for less heat), minced
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 10 ounces white button mushrooms, trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 1 rotisserie chicken (about 2 1/2 pounds), skin removed and meat shredded (about 4 cups)
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup prepared green salsa, plus more for serving
  • 6 burrito-size (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 bunch flat-leaf spinach, thick stems removed (3 cups)
  • 1 log (5 ounces) soft goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. In a large skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium. Add onion and jalapeno; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Add mushrooms; cover, and cook until they begin to release their liquid, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to brown and skillet is dry, about 5 minutes more.
  3. Add chicken, corn, and salsa. Cook, stirring, until heated through and mixture is saucy, 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, heat tortillas according to package instructions. In center of each tortilla, layer spinach, chicken mixture, and goat cheese.
  5. Wrap burritos one at a time: Fold side of tortilla closest to you over filling. Fold right and left sides toward center, and roll up. Halve if desired; serve with additional salsa.

    I took this to a party and it was a big hit! The family loved it too. I have been asked to make it again.
