2 serrano chiles, seeded and coarsely chopped
Canola oil, for tossing and browning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 limes, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
4 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
4 cups chicken stock, or enough to cover
Honey, for sweetening
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small Spanish onion, finely diced
1 cup long-grain rice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups thinly sliced flat leaf spinach
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 large lime
1 jalapeno, finely diced
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound dried white beans, picked over
1 small onion, halved

1/2 cup canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 to 8 large flour tortillas
Cotija cheese, grated
Queso fresco, crumbled
Jalapeno hot sauce
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the green chile pork: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the tomatillos, onion, garlic and chiles with a few tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until slightly charred and soft, about 40 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor, add the lime juice and cilantro and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat of the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Season the pork with salt and pepper and cook the meat in batches until golden brown on all sides, transferring to a plate as done. Remove any excess oil, then return the pork to the Dutch oven, add the tomatillo sauce and pork to the Dutch oven and toss to coat.
  • Add enough chicken stock to cover the pork, and cook until fork tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Allow the pork to cool slightly, then shred with two forks. Heat some of the cooking liquid in a large saute pan, add the shredded pork and cook for a few minutes. Taste, and add honey if desired.
  • For the green rice: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft. Stir in the rice. Add 2 cups of water, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until tender, about 18 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the cilantro and spinach, cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • For the guacamole: Combine the avocados, onion, lime juice, jalapeno and cilantro in a bowl. Use a fork to mash to a chunky mix. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the white beans with onion vinaigrette: Combine the beans, onion and garlic in a large saucepan, cover with water and cook until just tender, about 1 hour. Drain and discard the onion and garlic.
  • Combine the green onions, vinegar, a splash of water and salt and pepper to taste in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil to create an emulsified vinaigrette.
  • Combine the beans and green onion vinaigrette in bowl.
  • To assemble: Spoon some green rice on each tortilla, add some white beans with green onion vinaigrette, some green chile pork and top with guacamole. Garnish with Cotija cheese, queso fresco, hot sauce and cilantro. Fold the edges of each tortilla into the center and roll them up tightly.

At the famed Chicago Dog in Santa Fe, New Mexico, they will line up in a blizzard to get their variation of this recipe.

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Eggs     Breakfast Burrito Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 potatoes, shredded
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) container frozen Hatch, New Mexico green chile peppers
½ cup chicken broth
12 strips bacon
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
butter flavored cooking spray
12 extra large eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Place the shredded potatoes in a bowl, cover with water, and set aside. Bring the onion, garlic, green chiles, and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the sauce thickens; turn off the heat.
  • Meanwhile, place the strips of bacon on paper towels on a microwave-safe plate, and cook on High until crisp, about 1 minute per strip; set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Drain the potatoes, and add to the skillet. Spoon hot oil over the potatoes; sprinkle with the onion powder, salt, and pepper. Flip the potatoes occasionally, but let them fry until crispy bits form and the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Place the tortillas between two damp paper towels. Microwave on High until warm, about 30 seconds.
  • Spray a separate skillet with butter flavored cooking spray and cook the eggs over medium heat, whisking them continuously until the eggs are completely set; turn off the heat.
  • Lay a tortilla flat in front of you. Place some potatoes, scrambled egg, and a strip of bacon on the lower third, leaving about an inch of room from the bottom, and about 1-1/2 inches on the left and right clear for folding the burrito. Spoon on a little of the green chile sauce, and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
  • Fold the left and right edges into the middle about 1-1/2 to 2 inches. Take the bottom edge closest to you with the stuffing and pick it up, pulling it OVER the filling, while keeping the sides in place until that edge now touches the tortilla about 7/8 of the way up to the top edge. Check to see that the sides are still tucked well. If they aren't slide them in a bit now that you have the filling covered. Finish by tucking the bottom flap that you pulled over the filling UNDER the filling a bit to seal it, then continue rolling the burrito up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder. Let it rest seam-side down, and it will stay nice and tight. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN BURRITO



Green Chile Chicken Burrito image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 1/2 pounds bone-in, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons canola oil, plus as needed
2 large red bliss potatoes, diced (8 ounces)
4 poblano peppers, stemmed and seeded, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 large sweet onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
12 dried guajillo chiles
4 whole cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fine sugar
3 to 4 turns freshly ground black pepper
Four 12-inch flour tortillas
1 pound grated Chihuahua cheese
Sour cream, for garnish
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Finely sliced scallions, for garnish
1 lime

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.
