Ingredients List
- Chipotle Paste
- 8 Boneless skinless chicken
- -breasts
- 2 tb Water or chicken stock
- 8 oz Chiles chipotles en adobo
- 1 Head garlic; peeled (not 1
- Clove; the WHOLE head)
- 1 tb Mexican oregano
- 1/2 Head iceburg lettuce
- 1/4 sm Head cabbage
- 1 Carrot cut in fine julienne
- 4 tb Cilantro; roughly chopped
- 16 Tortillas; (I prefer whole
- -wheat)
Directions
Place chicken in water or stock in a covered saucepan. Cook over low heat
until tender and pulls apart easily. Remove cover, and allow excess liquid
to evaporate. I have also combined paste with the chicken and cooked
overnight in a crockpot. Using two forks, pull meat into shreds.
In the meantime, place canned chipotles, garlic, and oregano in food
processor or blender. Puree, adding water only if necessary, to make a
paste.
Shred the lettuce and cabbage finely. Toss with carrot and cilantro. Set
aside.
If chicken is still warm, stir in paste a tablespoon at a time until you
get the desired degree of hotness. I use approximately 1 tablespoon for
each breast.
If chicken was precooked, mix with paste prior to reheating in micro- wave
or saucepan.
Heat tortillas. I prefer to heat them over the open flame on my gas stove,
turning frequently. You may also use a microwave oven.
