Fresno Chicken Chimi Recipe

Fresno Chicken Chimi Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let cool.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced Fresno peppers over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until softened.

3. 3

   Shred the Chicken

   Once the chicken has cooled, shred it using two forks or your hands into bite-sized pieces.

4. 4

   Mix the Filling

   In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, chopped cilantro, and shredded cheddar cheese. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and stir until well combined.

5. 5

   Assemble the Chimis

   Place a generous amount of the chicken filling in the center of each flour tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly and tuck in the sides to secure the filling.

6. 6

   Cook the Chimis

   In the skillet, place the rolled chimi seam-side down and cook over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Serve

   Cut the chimis in half and serve warm with sour cream on the side for dipping.
