SIMPLE CHICKEN BURRITO

Steps:

• You can dice the chicken after it's cooked, but I prefer to do it before hand. cut each breast into 1/2 inch strips (estimated) and then each strip into small cubes. Cook them on a skillet in the oil.
• While the chicken cooks, warm up the beans in a small sauce pan, stir them constantly so they don't stick.
• Once the chicken is cooked thoroughly, pull it and the beans off of the stove. This should take about 15 minutes on Medium if the chicken is in cubes already, but it varies from stove to stove.
• If the tortillas you're using are homemade, skip this step, if they're store bought taco type shells, put them in the microwave for 15 seconds.
• Make the burritos the same way you would make a taco, using the beans, rice, chicken, salsa, and any other toppings of your choosing.

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN BURRITO BOWLS

Steps:

• Combine the chicken breasts, diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup of chicken stock, chili powder, salt, and cumin in the bowl of a 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-quart slow cooker. Make sure the chicken is covered, and add additional stock if needed. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.
• Remove the lid and add the rice, black beans, frozen corn, and the remaining chicken broth. Replace the lid and continue cooking on low for another 3 to 4 hours. Check the rice periodically in the last hour of cooking, stirring once or twice to make sure the rice cooks evenly and adding more chicken broth if the mixture seems dry. Cooking is done when the rice is tender - if the rice is done while there is still liquid left in the slow cooker, remove the lid and cook on high to let the liquid evaporate.
• → Total cooking time from start to finish is 6 to 8 hours.
• Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. You can do this either in the slow cooker itself and then mix it into the rice, or you can transfer the chicken to a cutting board if you prefer to keep it separate. Taste the burrito mix and stir in more salt or other seasonings to taste.
• Serve burrito bowls with a selection of toppings. The burrito mixture will keep for 1 week refrigerated or for 3 months in the freezer. This recipe makes about 7 total cups of burrito mix.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN BURRITO

Steps:

• For the green chile chicken filling: Sprinkle the chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper and cumin. Heat the 2 tablespoons the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, place the chicken thighs, skin side down, in the pan and cook until browned and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the chicken over and brown on reverse side, 3 to 4 minutes; between batches, add more canola to the pot as needed). Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• To the pot, add the potatoes, poblanos, onions, garlic, and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Saute until the onions are translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Return the chicken thighs to the pot and deglaze with the chicken broth, stirring to scrape any browned bits. Bring to a boil, then cover and lower to a simmer. Cook until the chicken thighs are tender and the potatoes are starting to break down into the sauce, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the chicken thighs to a plate and let cool. Remove the bones from the chicken thighs and chop meat into 3/8-inch cubes. Place the cubed chicken back in the pot, and bring back to a simmer. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated, another 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
• For the guajillo sauce: Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillos; tear the chiles in half lengthwise. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, toast the chiles and garlic until they become fragrant and start to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chiles to a bowl and add 2 cups boiling water, or enough to just cover. Set aside to rehydrate for 15 minutes.
• In a blender, add the chiles with their soaking water, and the toasted garlic, oregano, cumin and chicken broth. Puree until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the guajillo puree into a pan and bring to a simmer; cook gently until slightly thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the salt, sugar and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
• Make the burritos: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the flour tortillas on a clean flat surface. In the middle of each tortilla, place about one-quarter of the chicken filling, and top with a 1/2 cup of the Chihuahua cheese. Spread the filling out slightly. Fold in the sides of the tortillas and then carefully roll them up into burritos.
• In a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, place the burritos, seam side down, and cook to lightly brown and seal, about 1 minute. Turn and cook on the reverse side. Transfer the burritos to an oven-proof platter and cover completely in guajillo sauce. Sprinkle the remaining Chihuahua cheese over the top. Bake until the burritos are golden brown around the edges and the cheese is bubbly, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Garnish the burritos with a dollop of sour cream and some cilantro and scallions. Add a squeeze of lime juice and serve.
