Yield 8 or more burritos

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 lbs tomatillos husked, washed and dried, and cut in half
2 large poblano peppers, cut in half, seeds removed
1 jalapeño pepper
1 cup diced onion
2-3 garlic cloves
2 cups roughly chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups chicken broth (use less because this is the amount used in the soup version)
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
shredded Mexican cheese
white or brown rice
large flour tortillas

Steps:

1. Roast the tomatillos and peppers in 450 oven for 5-7+ minutes, until tomatillos are golden and peppers are charred. Put peppers in paper bag for easy peeling, except jalapenos don't need it. 2. In processor or Vitamix, blend all ingredients except broth and chicken until smooth. 3. Boil chicken in broth until cooked and tender. Cool, then shred and add enough broth to moisten. 4. Mix green sauce with shredded chicken; assemble burritos with cheese, rice and chicken.
