Chipotle Chicken Thighs For Burritos Recipes

COPYCAT CHIPOTLE CHICKEN BURRITOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken: In a bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine the chicken, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and vinegar. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
• Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the chicken pieces for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan.
• Prepare the fajita veggies: To the same pan, add in the olive oil, peppers, onion, oregano, and salt. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and caramelized.
• Prepare the beans: Add the beans, chili powder, cumin, and lime juice to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the beans for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and add salt if needed.
• Prepare the cilantro lime rice: Prepare the rice according to package directions. Once cooked, stir in the olive oil or butter, lime juice, and cilantro.
• Assemble the burritos: Place the tortillas between damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds to make them soft and pliable. Place each tortilla on large squares of tin foil. Place portions of the chicken, rice, veggies, beans, and any extra fixings in the middle of the tortilla. For each burrito, bring the bottom half of the tortilla up over the pile of fillings and tuck the bottom edge under the pile. Fold each side of the tortilla into the middle and roll up the burrito so it's seam side down and in the middle of the tin foil. Package up the burrito in the tin foil. Enjoy!`

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup pico de gallo, the chopped chipotle and adobo sauce to taste; cook until the mixture starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the beans and 3/4 cup water; bring to a low boil, then stir in the chicken and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt.
• Heat the tortillas as the label directs. Arrange the rice horizontally in the lower half of each tortilla, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on all sides. Top evenly with the cheese, chicken mixture, lettuce and the remaining pico de gallo.
• Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla snugly over the filling, tuck in the sides and roll up tightly. Cut the burritos in half and serve with guacamole if using.

Steps:

• Place chipotle chile pepper and ancho chile pepper in a bowl; pour in water. Cover bowl and let sit until peppers are softened, at least 10 to 12 hours. Drain water and remove seeds from peppers.
• 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.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Butterfly cut each thigh (Slice the inside of the thigh so that it will cook quicker and more evenly). Season each thigh front and back with cumin and pepper.
• Heat oil in large frying pan over medium high. Add both of the onions and bell pepper, saute for about 5 minute.
• Add chicken thighs and brown for about 10 minute turning over once to brown both sides.
• Add the 2 tablespoons of chipotle puree and 2 peppers. Disolve and sprinkle the chicken bullion cubes over the chicken (or if you have granulated bullion, add 2 tablespoons).
• Add about 2 cups water, or enough to barely cover the chicken. Mix the water in the pan a bit and taste if it needs more salt.
• Cover and cook for about 20 mins on medium high or until the juices from the chicken run clear and the sauce has thickened enough for your taste. When done, turn pan off and add the cilantro.
• Serve with rice.
