Chipotle Chicken Burritos Recipes

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, chipotle pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and salt to a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.
• Pour the sauce into a medium skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then add the Kroger® Hardwood Smoked Pulled Chicken. Toss to coat the chicken in the sauce. Cover and cook until the chicken is heated through, 5-6 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the rice, lime zest and juice, and cilantro.
• Assemble burritos: Place a tortilla on a work surface. Scoop about ¾ cup of the rice onto the lower third of the tortilla. Top with ¼ of the chicken, ¼ cup Monterey Jack cheese, a scoop of pico de gallo, some avocado, and a scoop of sour cream. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, fold in the sides, then continue rolling the burrito up. Slice in half on the diagonal. Repeat to make the remaining burritos.

• Marinade:.
• To the bowl of a food processor or blender add 1/2 cup water, onion, garlic, 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from can of chili's), 1 chipotle chili, also from can, chile powder, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon salt, cumin, vinegar, oregano, and black pepper.
• Blend until completely smooth, add 1/2 cup water stirring to combine.
• Place chicken in a large non-reactive container, with enough room for the adobo sauce.
• Pour sauce over chicken, turning chicken to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 10 to 12 hours (overnight) for the most intense flavor; chicken can be marinated for up to 2 days. Remove chicken from marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and place in a medium bowl. Season with remaining teaspoon salt.
• Cook Chicken:.
• Heat oven to 375°F In a large cast-iron skillet, over medium, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook chicken until dark golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes; turn chicken over and continue to cook until the underside is dark brown, another 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and transfer to oven. Cook until chicken is opaque throughout, but still juicy, about 8 to 10 minutes chicken should be165°F on a instant-read thermometer. Carefully remove pan from oven. Remove chicken to a cutting board, tent with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice chicken into 1/2-inch chunks.
• Assemble: Heat tortillas according to package instructions. One at a time, dividing fillings evenly, mound chicken, rice, cheese, beans, and guacamole on one side of tortilla. Fold sides over filling and hold them in place. Starting from the filled end, holding sides in and carefully roll the filled end tightly over the rest of the tortilla forming a log. Set aside, seam side down, and roll remaining burritos.

• Blend chile peppers, red onion, garlic, sea salt, cumin, oregano, and black pepper in a blender until a coarse paste forms; add olive oil and blend until marinade is smooth.
• Pound chicken thighs flat with a meat mallet and trim excess skin. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and add marinade. Turn chicken several times to coat. Seal bag and marinate at least 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill with top and bottom plates for medium-high heat. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut into strips.

Steps:

• In a plastic bag, place chicken thighs and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the chipotle powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Seal the plastic bag and massage the meat until fully coated. Transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
