Servings 4 servings
Author Jeannette Ogden x Rachael DeVaux

Ingredients

Shredded Chicken Verde

  • 2 organic chicken breasts, trimmed + tenderized and halved
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 jar salsa verde (I use the one from Trader Joe's)
  • 1 lime
  • 1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro
  • salt, pepper, red chili flakes, to taste

Flautas

  • Siete Foods grain free tortillas -- I like the coconut + cassava best (Bridger loves organic flour tortillas)
  • Better Bean chipotle refried beans
  • 3-4 tbsp avocado oil

Peppers + Onions

  • 1 large bell pepper, sliced thin
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced thin
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp pink salt/sea salt

Instructions

Shredded Chicken Verde

  • In a medium pot, heat 2 tbsp avocado oil on medium heat, then add chicken breast to brown on either side (about 2 min).
  • Pour in entire jar of salsa verde, stir chicken, then cover with lid to let cook on medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes.
  • Once chicken is tender, remove from heat and transfer only the chicken to a plate. Shred with two forks (or use a kitchenaid mixer).
  • Pour shredded chicken back into the pot, stir in cilantro, fresh lime juice, and seasonings. Set aside.

Flautas

  • Heat 3-4 tbsp avo oil in a large skillet on medium-low heat.
  • Heat tortillas over an open flame until slightly charred (or in a skillet with no oil, either side).
  • On a flat surface or cutting board, fold in a good amount of shredded chicken + 1-2 spoonfuls refried beans, if using, and roll up right.
  • Gently transfer to skillet, fold side down, to fry/brown. Flip every 3-5 minutes, or when browned/crisped. Continue for your remaining tortillas.

Peppers + Onions

  • Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, sauté your peppers + onions with seasonings. Cover with lid and cook on medium-high heat until onions are caramelized & starting to char, about 10-12 min. Toss occasionally with tongs.
