    Recipe



    TO MAKE ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE:
    Preheat broiler.

    In strainer over medium saucepan, drain tomatoes, reserving liquid in saucepan.

    Spread drained tomatoes on jelly roll pan; broil about 4 inches from preheated broiler for 10 minutes or until tomatoes are slightly charred and dry looking.

    Add tomatoes and remaining ingredients for the Roasted Tomato Sauce to liquid in saucepan; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

    Cool slightly; with hand blender or in food processor, puree until still slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper.

    TO MAKE THE FILLING:
    In large skillet, heat oil. Add onion and cook for 2 minutes or until slightly soft.

    Add potatoes, roasted bell peppers and chili powder; cover and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper.

    Add chicken and 1 cup of the Roasted Tomato Sauce; bring to a simmer over low heat.

    TO MAKE THE BURRITOS:
    Place 1 cup potato and chicken mixture in the middle of 1 tortilla; fold up from bottom, then fold in from sides and down from top to enclose filling completely. Repeat with remaining mixture and tortillas to make 6 burritos. Garnish each burrito with 2 tablespoons Roasted Tomato Sauce, 2 tablespoons cheese and cilantro.

    *2 cups bottled marinara sauce may be substituted for the Roasted Tomato Sauce.

    ***Substitute 1 package (6 ounces) pre-cooked chicken breast strips for grilled chicken breast.

    HOW TO ROAST PEPPERS:
    Place whole pepper over open flame or 4 inches from pre-heated broiler, turning occasionally until skin is evenly charred; place in bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. When cool, remove blackened skin, stems and seeds and cut into strips.

    Servings: 6
