Calories 285kcal
Ingredients
- 4 clove garlic
- 2 teaspoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 3 cup cilantro
- 3 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 12 medium tortilla, whole wheat
Toppings
- 6 leaf outer lettuce
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend, shredded
- 2 medium tomato, red
- 6 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 medium avocado
Instructions
- Mince 4 cloves of garlic and enough chipotle chiles to get 2 teaspoons worth. Chop your cilantro. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and chipotle and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the orange juice, Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the chicken and simmer, covered, over medium-low heat for 12-13 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through cooking. When the chicken is done cooking, transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the mixture left in the skillet until the liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes.
- Off the heat, whisk in the yellow mustard. Using 2 forks, (or a kitchen aid and cookie paddle) shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return to the skillet.
- Add the remaining cilantro to the skillet and toss until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm with tortillas topped with lettuce, cheese, tomato, sour cream and avocado.
