Directions

Place the chicken in a pot and cover with water. Add the onion, garlic and chipotle chiles and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for an hour. Remove from the heat and, when cool enough to handle, shred the chicken into pieces.

Place the tortillas on a flat surface and place equal amounts of all of the ingredients in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up and enjoy. Makes 4 to 6 burritos.

Note: If you want to kick up the spice a bit, add some spicier dried chiles to the water when cooking the chicken.
