Tips

  • Chipotle peppers come from a can with adobo sauce, found in the Mexican food aisle.
  • Add 1 tbsp of honey or maple syrup to the sauce for a sweet balance.
  • Cook chicken on medium heat to avoid burning, optionally grease pan with oil beforehand.
  • Make burritos in batches and store in the fridge for up to 5 days, reheat in microwave or toast on a pan.
