Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes with habanero peppers
  • 1 green bell pepper, roughly chopped
  • 1 large onion, finely diced
  • 3 jalapeno chile peppers, deseeded and chopped
  • 2 packets of taco seasoning mix, divided
  • 2 tablespoons of canola oil, or more if required
  • 1 package of flour tortillas

Step 1

In a large pot, combine chicken, juicy tomatoes with a kick of habanero peppers, crunchy green bell pepper, aromatic onion, zesty jalapeno chile peppers, and a packet of taco seasoning. Fill the pot with just enough water to cover the ingredients perfectly.

Step 2

Bring this flavorful medley to a lively boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. This usually takes about 1 1/2 hours. To ensure doneness, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) at the thickest part close to the bone.

Step 3

Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the pot and let it cool. Shred the tender meat into bite-sized pieces and discard the bones. Now, pour off some of the liquid from the pot, leaving behind the aromatic vegetables. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir in another packet of taco seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat up some canola oil over medium heat. Fry the tortillas in batches until they reach your desired level of crispiness, typically around 1 to 2 minutes per side. Fill each crispy tortilla with a generous spoonful of the delicious chicken mixture and get ready to enjoy a mouthwatering treat!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your tortillas fresh by storing them in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag. This will prevent them from drying out and becoming brittle.
  2. 2. Marinate your chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and citrus juices before cooking. This will infuse the meat with delicious taste that will enhance your burrito experience.
  3. 3. Use separate containers to store your burrito fillings like shredded cheese, diced veggies, and salsa. This will make it easy to assemble your burrito when you're ready to enjoy.
