Rotisserie Chicken Burrito with a Fresno-Lime Sauce

3/23/2025

The rotisserie chicken is a glorious offering from our modern American grocery stores, and it remains a tool of the old-poor to eat a little bit better than they would otherwise. This burrito is inspired by the California style burritos all over the internet these days to use some of that chicken meat a little more creatively for a single meal.

The fresno-lime sauce really takes this to another level, providing moisture, tang, and heat to an otherwise weakly seasoned chicken. Enjoy this sauce on top of a plate of nachos or on tacos later in the week if you’re so inclined. It is one of my favorite things that I have developed in my home kitchen this week.

The original rendition of this recipe uses leftover cooked bell peppers and onions that I prepared earlier in the week to use across several meals that week, so the below recipe includes a step to cook your peppers and onions together to achieve an exact match to what I did that day.

Totally Normal Arancini Recipe

These arancini are simple, although they do require a bit of prep time. Expect to give yourself an hour or so to make them correctly. The measurements for this recipe are, frankly, not exact. The eggs, flour, and panko are per 5 arancini. The sizes can vary depending on if you choose to use a mold or not, and this is designed to use up leftover rice. I can’t know how much rice you have left.

Feel free to mix up the type of cheese you put inside your arancini. These are traditionally made with normal breadcrumbs rather than panko, but I personally prefer the texture of panko.

I learned to love risotto and its leftovers this month by making these arancini after a very successful evening with my mushroom and calabrian chili risotto. These are easily one of my favorite things I’ve made for myself in the last few months, second only to the single serve chicken pot pie from one of my rotisserie chicken challenges.

@eatingnormal These totally normal arancini are a product of my mushroom and calabrian chili risotto recipe from earlier in the week, but you can do this with any risotto, really. The best part is the mozz stuffed in the middle. I will say, I'm not sure if these are traditional at all. They were, however, delicious. #cookingvideo #comfortfood #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #cooking #food #leftovers #rice #recipes ♬ original sound - Eating Normal
