Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 4 Flour tortillas (large)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Lettuce (shredded)
- 1 Tomato (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Dice the rested chicken into small bite-sized pieces.
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup of refried beans in the center of the tortilla.
Top the beans with some diced chicken, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream and salsa. Optionally, add chopped cilantro for extra flavor.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
If desired, heat a clean skillet and lightly toast the burritos on both sides for 1-2 minutes to make them golden and crispy.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
