Each bite bursts with flavor as it practically melts in your mouth! The tasty burrito filling can also be used for tacos, enchiladas, or nachos. Leftovers, that is IF you're lucky enough to have any, freeze well.

Ingredients

Optional Garnishes

Directions

  1. 1
    Fry bacon until crisp; remove bacon from pan and brown chicken thighs in the hot bacon fat; add onions and season thighs, adjusting amounts according to your preference.

  3. 3
    Before serving, remove skin and bones from the now falling-apart-tender chicken and shred the meat (be careful it will shred fast) then gently stir in the cream cheese.
  4. 4
    To serve: Place hot meat mixture and your choice of optional garnishes onto a softened tortilla then roll into a burrito and Treat Yourself! to a wonderful easy meal!

This is a great base recipe. By itself, we thought it was a little on the bland side. However, served with some salsa, sharp cheddar cheese and sour cream and that helped improve the flavor and make it tasty dish. The chicken turned out extremely moist and it fell off the bone. Mine did come out a little soupy, but I used a slotted spoon when serving it in the tortillas. I did not really taste the bacon in this. I would add some more chili powder and cumin next time to make it more spicy.

    I am stuffed with a capital S but boy were those good. I used a mixture of thighs and legs because I got a good deal on a mixed pack at the supermarket. I took the skin off of half of the chicken to save on some calories (but then this is a treat yourself recipe) and used fat free cream cheese. I topped mine with reduced fat cheddar and banana chillies. Total yum!
