POLLO FUNDIDO

Steps:

• Boil chicken in water (or broth) until cooked through.
• Let cool enough to handle, and then shred. Place in large mixing bowl.
• Saute green pepper and onion in a small amount of butter or oil until pepper is tender and onion is translucent.
• Add to chicken in bowl.
• If you have a deep fryer, fill it up and turn it on. If not, heat up 2 inches of oil in a large fry pan over medium-high heat.
• While the oil is heating, make sauce. Combine cream cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, half and half, and garlic cloves together in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.
• Add half of the sauce mix to the chicken mixture.
• Add 1/2 cup of cheese to chicken mixture, and stir to combine all together.
• Place approximately 1/2 cup of chicken mixture on a tortilla and roll up "burrito style". Repeat for remaining mixture.
• Fry "burritos" in oil until golden brown, turning once if frying in a fry pan.
• Remove to paper towels to drain.
• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Place chicken "burritos" in a large glass pan (9x13 is recommended).
• Pour remaining sauce over the top (you can reserve about 3/4 cup, if desired, for serving on the side).
• Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Place in oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Prepare fundido sauce by adding all sauce ingredients to food processor or blender and mix until smooth. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed. Set aside (or make in advance and refrigerate).
• Mix chicken, salsa, cumin, oregano and 1 cup of cheese. Place a heaping 1/2 cup or so of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll up tightly like a burrito.
• Add enough oil to a skillet to just cover the bottom of the pan. Heat to medium. Once the oil is hot, pan fry the burritos, turning every 30 seconds or so, until golden on all sides. Place on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
• Once all burritos are crispy, turn oven to high broil. Remove paper towel from under the burritos and spoon some fundido sauce over each burrito. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese.
• Broil for 2-3 minutes until warm and melty. Serve garnished with green onion.
• To bake instead of pan fry, line burritos on a baking sheet, seem side down, and brush the tops lightly with olive oil or cooking spray. Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

POLLO FUNDIDO

Steps:

• 1. Saute your onions in a lightly greased skillet and set them aside.
• 2. Sprinkle your chicken with chili salt and begin cooking it in the skillet.
• 3. Grate the Cheese and melt according to directions. I add the milk a little at a time until it gets to a consistency I like. You don't want it to be so thick you can't pour it, but so thin it's like water either.
• 4. After you have all your chicken cooked through, put the onions back in the skillet and turn the burner off. Now you are ready to pour your cheese over the top and it is ready to serve!
