Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

3 to 4 dried guajillo or red New Mexico chile peppers, stemmed and seeded
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 cup organic ketchup
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons dark amber maple syrup
2 shots Mezcal or other tequila of your choice
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 limes
1 small organic orange
4 cups shredded Poached Chicken Breasts, recipe follows
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon EVOO
4 slices smoky bacon, chopped
1 red onion, halved; 1 half chopped and the other half whole
One 28-ounce can baked beans, such as Bush's
1/4 cup steak sauce, such as Lea and Perrins Thick Classic Worcestershire Sauce
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 small red cabbage (1 pound), finely shredded
Kosher salt
8 large flour tortillas
12 ounces sharp white Cheddar
4 whole bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (for all white meat) or 3 whole 4-pound chickens (for a mix of white and dark meat)
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
8 cloves garlic, smashed
4 large bay leaves
4 carrots, coarsely chopped
4 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
2 lemons, sliced
2 onions, quartered
Herb bundle of fresh parsley, rosemary and thyme tied with kitchen string
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Toast the chile peppers in a saucepan over medium-high heat, pressing them flat with a metal spatula and turning occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the chiles are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Puree the chiles and stock in a food processor, then return the mixture to the pan. Add the ketchup, 2 tablespoons vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, tequila and 2 garlic cloves. Grate enough zest from the limes and orange to make 1 tablespoon each; add to the pan along with the juice of 1 lime and the orange. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for 20 minutes. Add the chicken and stir to coat with the sauce. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon EVOO in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned. Add the chopped onions and the remaining 2 garlic cloves and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the beans and cook until heated through. Stir in the steak sauce and pepper. Combine the juice of the remaining 2 limes and the remaining 1/4 cup vinegar in a large bowl. Grate the remaining onion half into the bowl and whisk in the remaining 1/3 cup EVOO. Add the cabbage and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Drain the slaw before using. Char the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side. Place some of the chicken mixture on the edge of each tortilla, top with Cheddar, beans and slaw, then tuck in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly. Cook's Note: The chicken can be refrigerated in the BBQ sauce for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat, stirring. The beans and the slaw can be refrigerated separately until ready to use.
  • Put the chicken in a very large stockpot or divide between 2 pots if necessary. Add the peppercorns, garlic, bay leaves, carrots, celery, lemons, onions and herb bundle and sprinkle with salt. Add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook at a rolling simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the chicken from the liquid and let cool. Strain the stock. (You should have 5 to 6 quarts stock.) Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, and shred the meat using your hands or 2 forks.

YUMMY CHICKEN BURRITOS



Yummy Chicken Burritos image

I used to beg my mom for these; now I make them for my son. Serve with beans, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, and cheese.

Provided by smellow

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 2h

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole chicken
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with habanero peppers (such as RO*TEL® Hot)
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 large onion, diced
3 jalapeno chile peppers, seeded and diced
2 (1 ounce) packets taco seasoning mix, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil, or as needed
1 (15 ounce) package flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Place chicken, tomatoes with habanero peppers, green bell pepper, onion, jalapeno chile peppers, and 1 packet taco seasoning in a large pot; pour in enough water to just cover chicken.
  • Bring chicken and vegetables to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the pot and let cool. Pull chicken meat off the bones and cut into bite-sized pieces; discard carcass. Pour off about half the liquid from the pot, making sure all the vegetables stay. Return chicken meat to pot; add the remaining 1 packet taco seasoning. Simmer until flavors have blended, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat; fry tortillas, working in batches, in the hot oil until desired crispness is reached, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Spoon chicken mixture into each tortilla to serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of dark and light meat chicken.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat.
  • To make the burritos easier to roll, warm the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds before filling them.
  • For a vegetarian version of the burritos, use black beans or tofu instead of chicken.
