i used to make this all the time when i lived by myself, it's one of the first meals i used to make when i just starting out on my own. it makes a great authentic tasting mexican dish. it is orginally from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, with a few variations. i had to refer back to it, because i am more of a "dump" cook, and nolonger use the measurements when preparing this.

I used green olives as it gives such a nice flavor. We ate these like they were going out of style! I had with a Mexican themed dinner and they were eaten with pleasure! Thanks for sharing Bratty!

    I also found this recipe in the Better Homes cookbook several years back. IT IS VERRRY GOOD. I have also made seafood burritos with the same recipe. I use 12 oz of immitation crab meat chopped up along with 2 small cans of the tiny shrimp, in place of the chicken. I also buy the chopped tomatoes w/green chiles in a can. The chiles give it a little kick.

    Bratty! These are fabulous! Very easy to prepare. I simmered 2 boneless chicken breasts with about 5 cloves of slightly crushed garlic and 1/2 an onion, and then shredded. The sauce was very easy to prepare--I sauteed the whites of the green onions with 1 TBSP of dried cilantro, because I had no fresh. The sauce wouldn't thicken after adding the sour cream/flour mixture and the cheese, so I mixed a little cornstarch and water and threw that in. All was good. I added about 3/4 to 1 tsp of ground cumin and about 1/2 tsp of chili powder to the chicken/sauce mixture. These were really easy to roll up, and the flavor was fantastic. My husband said they were better than his favorite restaurant burritos. He had to have seconds. Thanks for such a great recipe bratty!
