Ingredients
-
1 store-bought roasted chicken
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
1 green pepper, coarsely chopped
-
1 chipotle chili (with its adobe sauce), finely chopped
-
1 jar (530ml) Authentica Siciliana Sauce
-
Salt and freshly ground pepper
-
8 8-inch (20cm) flour tortillas
-
1 jar (530ml) Authentica Arrabiata Sauce
-
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
-
1/2 cup grated Monterey jack cheese
-
Garnishes: chopped cilantro, chopped green onions, chopped black olives
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Remove meat from the roasted chicken, discarding skin and bones. Shred by hand into 2-inch (5cm) pieces and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and green pepper and sauté until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add in chilies and mix well. Pour in the Siciliana Sauce and bring to a boil. Stir in shredded chicken toss until well mixed. Season. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Divide chicken mixture and fill tortillas, fold together and lay snugly in a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Spread the Arrabiata Sauce over the top and then sprinkle with the shredded cheeses.
- Place into preheated oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Serve onto warm serving plates and garnish.
