Serves: 6Prep: 20 minsCook: 3 hours
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 oz Bacon, diced
- 1/2 cup Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (pureed)
- 1/4 cup Adobo sauce (from chipotle can)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup Chives, finely chopped
- 6 Large whole wheat tortillas
- 6 Sheets of aluminum foil
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Add water or chicken broth to cover. Cook on low for 3 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
- While chicken cooks, fry the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine pureed chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth to create the chipotle sauce.
- Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess liquid from the slow cooker.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked bacon, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped chives, and the prepared chipotle sauce. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Lay out a tortilla and spoon about 1/6 of the chicken mixture onto the center. Fold in the sides and tightly roll the bottom up to form a burrito.
- Wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil. These can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- To reheat, remove foil and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. For a crispier exterior, heat in a dry skillet after microwaving.
