Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce
  • 2 jars Green Mountain Gringo® Salsa or Texas Pete® Salsa
  • 3 lb chicken breast
  • Flour Tortillas
  • Butter
  • Favorite toppings such as queso sour cream, guacamole...

Instructions
 

  • In an electric pressure cooker, add the chicken and 2 jars of salsa. 
  • Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes (or 45 minutes if they're frozen breasts).
  • When that is done, do a quick release of steam and open the pressure cooker. Add in the hot sauce. Stir to mix with the salsa and coat the chicken breasts.
  • Remove the breasts from the sauce and shred with two forks. Add back into the sauce and stir again to coat it all in sauce.
  • Melt the butter in a small bowl and set aside. Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • To assemble: Take a tortilla and brush one side with butter, flip it over so the butter side is on the outside now. Fill with chicken and then roll it up tightly.
  • Be sure to drain some of that juice from the chicken so you don't add up with soggy tortillas.
  • Once they're rolled up, place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat.
  • Bake for 10 minutes on one side, then flip and 5-7 minutes on the other or until golden and crisp. If they're not crisping up well, turn on the broiler. But watch them! It only takes a minute before they burn.
  • Serve immediately with a side of sour cream, guac, queso, salsa and another drizzle of hot sauce!
