DIY Fig Salsa on Burrito Size Chicken Tacos (Burritacos)

DIY fig salsa for tacos, burritos or whatever

We can't hide the fact that we've been overindulging on the figs this season. We've served them hot and cold, in main courses, salads, with pasta, appetizers, on pizza... actually, any way we can think about. This time we had LO (leftover) rotisseried chicken and made a monster burrito sized taco. We called it a burritaco...LOL.

The burritacos were delicious but the fig salsa made them extra special. Salsa adds so much zing to an ordinary taco or burrito and you can make a salsa with a wide variety of ingredients. Here's how we made this one...

Serves: 2
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS:
For the salsa:
3 figs
2 red anaheim peppers, chopped small
Juice on 1 lime
Zest of 1 lime
Pinch of salt
2 slices of red onion, chopped small
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped small
Cilantro

For the chicken burritaco:
LO chicken
1 can of black beans
1 avocado
Shredded Napa cabbage
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese

PREPARATION FOR THE SALSA:
1. Chop the peppers, onion and cilantro. Mix ingredients in a ceramic, glass or stainless steel bowl. Cover and let age for at least 30 minutes before serving.
2. Serve at room temperature.

PREPARATION FOR THE BURRITACO:
1. Heat the black beans until hot.
2. Cut up or tear the LO chicken
3. Shred the cabbage and slice the avocado
4. Warm the tortilla either in a warming oven wrapped in foil or in a non-stick pan.

SERVING:
Place the beans, chicken, cabbage and cheese inside the warmed tortilla then fold it over and secure with a toothpick. Place the avocado slices on top of the burritaco and then spoon the salsa on top.
