Chicken Al Pastor

#chickenalpastor #food #recipe My favorite thing at Chipotle is the al pastor chicken. I love Chipotle. I have no hate with them (outside of extra $ for guacamole), and I crave a burrito bowl often. However, you can make it on your own at home and elevate to a whole other level. This is completed with a Honey Lime Chipotle Vinaigrette, if you've never gotten the Honey Lime Vinegarette that is served with the salad at Chipotle and put it on your burrito....then you are missing out!!
I also whipped up a guacamole (as much as you want when you're at home) and corn salsa because those are some of my favorite toppings on my burrito bowl. This is a burrito plate, but you can put it in a burrito tortilla if you want.
Chicken Al Pastor:
3 Tablespoons adobo sauce
2-3 Tablespoons Chipotle peppers
3 Tablespoons Annatto Powder
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoom cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1 lb chicken breast (or thighs)
Blend everything except pineapple and chicken. Pour over top of prepared chicken breast and pineapple pieces. Let it marinate for 1-2 hours. Cook in hot skillet, cook in batches if needed, until cooked through. Chop roughly for the burrito plate. You can leave whole breasts and serve in strips or chop like I did. I prefer to cook it in strips, because it cooks even and quick. Then you can cut it however you'd like to serve it.
Honey Lime Chipotle Vinegarette:
2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1-2 Chipotle peppers in adobo
2 Tablespoons honey
Salt and Pepper to taste
Blend in a blender, an immersion blender, or shake in a Mason jar until emulsified.
The ratios on the following amounts are all personal preference. I love Cilantro and lime juice so I always go heavy handed on it.
Guacamole:
Avocado, mashed
Lime Juice
Green Onion
Tomato, diced
Cilantro
Jalapeno
Corn Salsa:
Corn
Lime Juice
Tomato, diced
Green Onion
Cilantro
