Sunnys Honey Chipotle Chicken Wet Burrito Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY HUSH PUPPIES WITH A HOT HONEY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornbread mix and seasoning blend, breaking up any clumps in the mix. Add the creamed corn and eggs and stir to combine gently; the mixture should be scoopable but hold its form. (Think the perfect ice cream ball.) Allow to rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
• For the frying: In a large pot or fryer, bring at least 2 inches of peanut oil to 375 degrees F. Using 2 spoons or a medium ice cream scoop, scoop out some batter and slowly lower it into the oil. Drop in a few more and cook, flipping if needed, until the hush puppies float and are golden all around, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove to a wire rack over a baking sheet and season with a sprinkle of salt. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce and sugar. Use as a dipping sauce for the hush puppies.

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.

HONEY-CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Blend honey, garlic, and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce together in a food processor until smooth.
• Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker and mix in honey-chipotle sauce.
• Cook in the slow cooker on Low for 5 hours.
• Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred using 2 forks. Return chicken to the slow cooker and stir in black beans.
• Continue to cook on Low until cooked through, about 30 minutes more.

MEXICAN WET BURRITO

Steps:

• For the salsa: Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the peppers and onion and cook until the onion is translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, blend together the tomatoes and tomato sauce in a large blender until smooth. Once the peppers and onions are cooked, stir the tomato sauce mixture into the saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and stir in the cumin, oregano and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes; taste for seasoning and add salt if needed. Keep warm. Makes about 5 cups.
• For the queso sauce: Put the cheese and jalapenos in a heat-safe blender. Bring the milk to a boil over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan. Carefully pour the hot milk into the blender and blend until smooth. Return to the saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
• Makes about 2 cups.
• For the burrito: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and brown on one side. Loosen the meat with a spatula or spoon and brown the meat on the other side. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the skillet.
• Put the tortilla on a microwave-safe dish and cover it with a damp paper towel. Heat in the microwave until quite hot and pliable, about 20 seconds. Discard the paper towel.
• Put the refried beans, steak, rice, onion, cilantro, and cheese horizontally across the center of the tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border at both ends. Fold the left and right sides inwards perpendicular to the filling, then roll the burrito from front to back, pulling the filling tightly until the bottom of the burrito is now on top. Top with up to 1 cup of the salsa and about the same amount of queso sauce. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and shredded lettuce if desired. Remaining salsa and queso sauce can be kept for up to 1 week, refrigerated.

SUNNY'S PUMPKIN AND CHICKEN BITES WITH SUNNY'S CREME FRAICHE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, chicken, celery, garlic, sage, thyme, walnuts, scallions, dried cranberries and Hungarian paprika. Taste, making sure to get a bit of each ingredient in the sample. There should be a nice balance of sweet and savory; adding a nice pinch of salt can bring you to the right place. Stir before tasting again and adjust as needed. Once done with the salt, add a few grinds of black pepper. Add the cheese and stir to combine. Refrigerate until mix is firm and less sticky, about 20 minutes.
• For the wrappers: Wrappers should be packed with paper between each. Remove one wrapper at a time along with the paper and roll and flatten each slightly with a rolling pin. If not packed with paper, roll on a sheet of wax paper. Cut each in half to create 48 half circles. Fill one side of each half with a heaping tablespoon of filling and fold the empty side over the filled side to create a triangle with a curved edge. Then, using the tines of a fork, close both open sides by pressing them together with the top 1/2 inch of the fork. Repeat for the rest.
• In a small bowl whisk the eggs and 1 tablespoon water. Lightly brush one side of each bite and place the brushed side up on a parchment or nonstick aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 24 minutes. Serve with Sunny's Creme Fraiche Dipping Sauce.
• In a food processor, add the creme fraiche, scallions, garlic and hot sauce. Taste the dip and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Blend again and taste, seasoning again if needed. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving cold.
