Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

Marinade
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup tequila
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
4 large boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds)
4 10-inch flour tortillas
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 8 ounces)
4 canned whole green chilies (about 1 4-ounce can)
Fresh cilantro
Purchased salsa

Steps:

  • For marinade:
  • Mix first 7 ingredients in large shallow baking dish. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, turning chicken occasionally.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap tortillas tightly in foil and place in oven. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers, onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm in oven.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and grill until golden brown and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Layer 1/4 cup cheese, 1 chili, then another 1/4 cup cheese onto each breast half. Grill until chicken is cooked through and cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
  • Arrange 1 chicken breast on each tortilla. Top each with 1/4 of sautéed pepper mixture. Wrap tightly. Place tortilla, seam side down, in center of each plate. Garnish burritos with cilantro and serve, passing salsa separately.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the chicken in batches. This will prevent the chicken from overcrowding and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • If you don't have chipotle chili powder, you can make your own by combining 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through but still juicy.
  • If you want your burritos to be extra crispy, you can pan-fry them in a little bit of oil until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Southwestern-style chicken burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. These burritos are filled with flavorful chicken, beans, corn, and cheese, and they are wrapped in a soft tortilla. They can be served with a variety of toppings, making them a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by everyone.
