POLLO FUNDIDO RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare fundido sauce by adding all sauce ingredients to food processor or blender and mix until smooth. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed. Set aside (or make in advance and refrigerate).
• Mix chicken, salsa, cumin, oregano and 1 cup of cheese. Place a heaping ½ cup or so of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll up tightly like a burrito.
• Add enough oil to a skillet to just cover the bottom of the pan. Heat to medium. Once the oil is hot, pan fry the burritos, turning every 30 seconds or so, until golden on all sides. Place on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
• Once all burritos are crispy, turn oven to high broil. Remove paper towel from under the burritos and spoon some fundido sauce over each burrito. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese.
• Broil for 2 to 3 minutes until warm and melty. Serve garnished with green onion.
• To bake instead of pan fry, line burritos on a baking sheet, seem side down, and brush the tops lightly with olive oil or cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Steps:

• Add all the sauce ingredients to a food processor or blender and mix until smooth. Give it a taste and make any adjustments necessary, such as adding more salt or more jalapeno flavor. Set it aside while you make the burritos. Can be made a day or two ahead, just mix well before using.
• Mix sour cream and salsa together in a small bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, salsa mixture, cumin,oregano, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Mix well.
• Place about ½ cup of the chicken mixture in the middle of a tortilla. Fold the tortilla on the right and left sides over the chicken mixture, then roll up from the bottom to the top to form a sealed burrito. Repeat to make 6 burritos.
• Add enough oil to the bottom of a large skillet and heat to medium. When the oil is hot, carefully place the burritos, seam side down, into the skillet and fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Repeat until all burritos have been fried, adding more oil to the pan if needed. Drain burritos on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
• Heat broiler to high. Remove paper towels before broiling. Spoon about ½ cup (or more) Fundido sauce over burritos and top with remaining cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted. Best served immediately.

Steps:

• Char the peppers over a gas flame or under a broiler and then scrape off the blackened skin (do not wash). Remove and discard the seeds and stems and cut into large dice and set aside. Grill or roast the onion, serrano chile and tomatillos until lightly colored and chop coarsely. Remove core and seeds from tomatoes and cut into small dice. Arrange half the sliced cheese in the bottom of 4 individual earthenware dishes and scatter all of the vegetables over the top. Sprinkle half the cilantro over this and season to taste with salt and pepper. Place remaining cheese over all and top with remaining cilantro. This can all be done up to a day ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.
• To serve: place the filled dishes in a hot (425 degree) oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until cheese is nicely melted and just beginning to color. Top with a tablespoon or two of the black bean salsa and garnish with the avocado and cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately with crisp tortilla chips if desired. For the Black Bean Salsa: Blanch the bell peppers in lightly salted boiling water for 5 seconds. Plunge into cold water to stop cooking and drain. Combine with rest of ingredients and refrigerate. Can be stored refrigerated and covered for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• 1. Saute your onions in a lightly greased skillet and set them aside.
• 2. Sprinkle your chicken with chili salt and begin cooking it in the skillet.
• 3. Grate the Cheese and melt according to directions. I add the milk a little at a time until it gets to a consistency I like. You don't want it to be so thick you can't pour it, but so thin it's like water either.
• 4. After you have all your chicken cooked through, put the onions back in the skillet and turn the burner off. Now you are ready to pour your cheese over the top and it is ready to serve!
