Chipotle Burritos

*I've heard these are amazing! Use the Santa Fe Chicken recipe below rather than the meat in the burritos. Just cook the veggies in all the yummy seasonings. Hope this makes sense, enjoy!

Chipotle Burritos From Mary Bishop

Rice
We like to use brown rice and cook with the juice from one lime and some cumin and use chicken broth instead of water. After it is cooked you can mix with dried or fresh cilantro if you like cilantro.

Black Beans
1can of black beans – dump out 1/2 of the juice
3 shakes of cumin
chopped fresh garlic

Meat ( can use steak or chicken cut up into strips or however you like it)

Fill the bottom of frying pan with olive oil
Add: Garlic
Cheyenne papper
Hot sauce ( Tobasco or Louisiana Hot Sauce)
Balsamic vinegar
Cumin
Chili Powder
Salt
Then Add:
Chopped red onion
Chopped Peppers (green, red, yellow, whatever you have or like)
Then Add:
Meat

Stir fry in the pan until the meat is done.
You can get this all started in a heavy pot and then stew it in the oven for several hours to get really tender meat.

OR……. Make the Santa Fe chicken meat and cook it on the grill. If using the Santa Fe Chicken recipe, follow the above recipe for only the vegetables.

Santa Fe Chicken

Juice from 3 limes
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp. Olive oil
chili powder
cumin seed
ground coriander
honey
6 cloves minced garlic
2 whole boneless skinless breasts

Marinate for at least one hour, better if longer. Grill and then slice at a diagonal for serving. Great for fajitas or serve with sour cream, lime slice, fresh salsa and a green onion firecracker. (A fire cracker is a green onion with the end chopped off and then sliced down through the center a couple of times to let the end split apart to look like a fire cracker. It is really just a garnish, but it looked cool on the picture! You could do it if you really wanted to impress someone!

Place all of these ingredients in a large flour tortilla. I like to garnish with sour cream, Monteray jack cheese, salsa and guacamole. Bryan also likes to add more Tobasco, but he puts that on everything, so whatever you like.
