Instructions

Season Chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook Chicken in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, then shred.
Roast Poblano and Jalapeño peppers under a broiler until blackened. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the skin, remove seeds, and roughly chop.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot. Sauté onion and garlic until softened. Add chopped peppers, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 5 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend sauce until smooth.
Warm tortillas. Fill each tortilla with rice, refried beans, shredded Chicken, and cheddar cheese. Roll up tightly.
Pour Green Chili Sauce over burritos and serve immediately.
