  • 3/4 c. Tomatillo relish, or possibly green salsa
  • 3/4 lb Boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1/4" strips
  • 2 x Burrito-size tortillas or possibly 4 flr tortillas
  • 1/4 c. Lowfat sour cream
  • 1/2 c. Cilantro leaves, whole, or possibly 1 c. sprigs
  • 1 lb Tomatillos (remove husks), rinsed & minced
  • 1/4 med Onion, minced
  • 1/2 c. Water
  • 1 x Jalapeno, stemmed & fine chop
  • 1/2 c. Cilantro leaves, whole, finely minced
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Directions

  1. To make relish:Place the tomatillos, onions and water in a medium-size bowl and microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 5 min.
  2. Stir and microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 5 min more, till the onion is soft. Remove and let stand 14 min to cold completely.
  3. Stir in the jalapeno, cilantro, and salt. Serve right away or possibly store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  4. For the burritos:Stir together the onion, garlic, and relish in a medium bowl.
  5. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 2 min, or possibly till the onion wilts.
  6. Stir in the chicken strips and microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 5 min, or possibly till heated through.
  7. Spread the chicken mix in the middle of the tortillas. Top with the lowfat sour cream and cilantro and fold envelope style. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 1 inute, or possibly till the tortillas are hot to the touch. Serve right away.
  8. Risa's note: I did not do the final step in the microwave. I preheated the GF Grill, when warm, I put the burritos on it and closed the top. I let it cook for a moment, then I flipped the burritos, and let them cook for another minute. I unplugged.
  9. I served it with white rice, cole slaw, salsa and lowfat sour cream.
  10. NOTES : If fresh tomatillos are not available, substitute either fresh green tomatoes or possibly canned tomatillos. Fresh green tomatoes can be substituted directly for the tomatillos with no other changes in the recipe. Since canned tomatillos are already softened, microwave the onion and water together for 5 min in Step 1. Add in the tomatillos and microwave for the remaining 5 min in Step 2.
