food My Badass Burrito!

[buddy]

Shredded Chicken Burrito:
 
Start by rehydrating some smoked Lemon Drops (courtesy of Chile Monsta) - these are absolutely outstanding!

 
Braise a couple of chicken breasts in a chicken stock/fire roasted tomato/cumin/Mexican oregano/coriander/chipotle powder/smoked lemon drop mix

 
Reduce the sauce.

 
Add shredded chicken to reduced sauce.

 
Add garnishes (I used black beans, Mexican rice, and Mexican crumble cheese)

 
Roll it up, add some hot sauce and enjoy.

Really been enjoying your posts these past couple months ...

Our process for chicken for Mexican is boiling before shredding, and I don't think it's a great route ...

I think I'll try your way next time, for sure, because we have to completely build back the flavor after boiling ...

Any additional details about the spice mixture and/or braising would be interesting to me, certainly ...

Looks great, really ...

Rubbed some salt, pepper, and chile powder (I used chipotle powder) into the chicken breasts.
Cooked over high heat for a couple of minutes per side.
Removed from pan.
Added about 1 cup chicken stock, 8 rehydrated smoked lemon drops (chopped), more chipotle powder, fire roasted tomatoes, cumin, Mexican oregano, coriander and brought to boil.
Added chicken breast back in, covered, and braised for about 30 minutes.
Removed chicken and let cool for about 15 minutes while reducing sauce.
Shredded chicken and added back to reduced sauce.
Added garnishes (black beans, Mexican rice, and crumbled Mexican cheese), rolled them up, and served.

Gadget, boiling chicken is NEVER good.  All it does it take out what little flavor the chicken has.  Roast it, braise it, grill it, whatever you want, but do not boil it.

 

[grantmichaels]

Agreed. Boiled chicken is garbage ...
