Chicken Carnitas

Method

Preparing Chicken Carnitas

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until browned.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add minced garlic and lime juice to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks.

Assembling the Burrito

    Warm the Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On each tortilla, layer shredded chicken, cooked rice, black beans, guacamole, sliced jalapeños, and queso.

  3. 6

    Wrap the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Cut the burrito in half and serve with extra guacamole and jalapeños on the side if desired.
