Equipment

  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Slice the rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook in olive oil until fully done. Shred or slice the chicken.
  3. Mix the shredded chicken with chipotle in adobo or your chosen marinade.
  4. Spread refried beans on one half of each roll and mayonnaise or crema on the other half.
  5. Layer the chicken, avocado, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickled jalapeños, and cheese on the rolls.

Notes

For a healthier option, you can grill the chicken instead of frying it. Serve with a side of tortilla chips or a fresh salad.
