Crispy Chicken Goujon Burritos
Mexican cuisine has taken the UK by storm, with burritos becoming a go-to favourite for food lovers seeking bold flavours and satisfying meals. But what sets a burrito apart from a fajita? While fajitas typically involve grilled meats and veggies served with tortillas on the side for self-assembly, burritos are fully wrapped, creating a convenient, flavour-packed meal you can enjoy on the go.

Using our premium jalapeño-infused chicken goujons, this burrito delivers the perfect balance of crunch, heat, and cheesy goodness. Plus, burritos are endlessly customisable—you can pack them with rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or even extra jalapeños for an added kick.

Ingredients
- 4 Riverside Foods Chicken Goujons
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 100g cooked rice (Mexican-style or plain)
- 100g black beans, drained and rinsed
- 50g grated cheddar cheese
- 50g grated mozzarella cheese
- ½ red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small tomato, diced
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp salsa
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ lime, juiced
- Fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Method
Prepare the Chicken: Cook our Riverside Foods Chicken Goujons according to package instructions until crispy and golden brown.
Flavour the Beans: In a small pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook until soft. Stir in the black beans, smoked paprika, cumin, and a squeeze of lime juice. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Assemble the Burrito: Lay each tortilla flat and spread a layer of rice in the centre. Top with the spiced black beans, diced tomato, jalapeños and avocado slices.
Add the Crunch: Place two crispy chicken goujons on top of each burrito filling. Sprinkle over both cheeses, allowing them to melt slightly from the warmth of the ingredients.
Final Touches: Drizzle with sour cream and salsa, then sprinkle with fresh coriander.
Wrap and Toast: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Heat a dry pan over medium heat and toast the burrito seam-side down for 1-2 minutes until golden and sealed. Flip and toast the other side.
Serve & Enjoy: Cut in half and serve with extra salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce for dipping!
With its spicy kick, cheesy goodness, and satisfying crunch, this burrito is a surefire winner for any menu or a quick, delicious meal at home!
