Steps
- Combine chipotle peppers, honey, avocado oil, salt, apple cider vinegar, grated garlic, and seasonings. Add chicken thighs and toss until coated (longer marination time = better results)
- Place chicken on a wire rack set over a half-size sheet pan. Bake at 450° for ~25 minutes, flipping halfway. Optional: Broil for 3-5 mins at the end for extra char. Make sure to watch closely towards the end to prevent burning.
- For the nacho cheese, add cottage cheese, American cheese, cheese powder, jalapeño, milk, and seasonings to a blender. Blend for 2-3 mins, until smooth and emulsified. Optional: Warm slightly before blending for smoother texture.
- Add refried beans to a large bowl and microwave for 2 mins to loosen.
- Stir in Greek yogurt and chopped cilantro until smooth and creamy.
- Lay out 12 tortillas, spread an even layer of refried beans, nacho cheese sauce, and top with diced chicken.
- Wrap each burrito in foil or parchment and freeze for long-term storage.
