Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Boil the chicken breasts for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Let them cool slightly, then shred with two forks.
Step 2: Make the Mojo
Mix together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Vegetables
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft and translucent.
Step 4: Make the Chicken
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium high heat for about 5 minutes.
Pour in the mojo and increase the heat to high. Cook until most of the liquid has reduced and the chicken is lightly caramelized with browned bits on the bottom.
Step 5: Make the Cilantro Lime Rice
Mix jasmine rice with the lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt
Step 6: Assemble the Burritos
Fill each tortilla with:
* Cilantro lime rice
* Mojo chicken
* Shredded Pepper Jack cheese
* Avocado
* Sour cream
* Spicy salsa
Fold the burrito tightly.
Step 7: Toast the Burritos
Put shredded pepper jack cheese directly into a hot skillet and place the burrito seam side down on top of the melted cheese. Cook until the cheese is crispy and golden. Flip until both sides are golden!
ENJOY!!!!
