Enchilada in a Bowl
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Dice half of a red onion.
- 2Open a can of chipotle peppers in adobo, take out one chipotle pepper, and cut it into little pieces.
- 3Season two chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and sprinkle a taco seasoning packet over them, then rub it in.
- 4Get a pot, set the temperature to medium-high, and drizzle in a little oil.
- 5Once the pan is hot enough, sear the chicken for 4 minutes on each side; it doesn't need to be cooked through yet.
- 6Once the chicken is out, lower the temperature to medium and add another teaspoon of oil.
- 7Add the diced onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until they are see-through.
- 8Once the onions are see-through and you can smell them, add four cloves of minced garlic.
- 9Once you can smell the garlic, add the chopped chipotle and one tablespoon of adobo, and mix.
- 10After 30 seconds, add one cup of uncooked rice and mix.
- 11Let the rice sit for one or two minutes to toast.
- 12Add two cups of chicken broth.
- 13Add half a cup of enchilada sauce (green, red, or both).
- 14Add one cup of rinsed black beans.
- 15Nestle the chicken into the broth and bring it to a simmer.
- 16Once you see bubbles, cover it with a lid and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
- 17While everything is simmering, cut one cup of cherry tomatoes in half.
- 18Keep the temperature low, take two forks, and shred the chicken directly in your pan.
- 19Once the chicken is shredded, add the tomatoes.
- 20Mix everything well.
- 21Top it with half a cup of shredded cheese.
- 22Cover your pan until the cheese melts.
- 23Drizzle enchilada sauce over the top as the last step.
