Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 cups Cooked white rice
- 1 cups Black beans
- 1 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Salsa
- 1 cup Lettuce (shredded)
- 1 cup Tomatoes (diced)
- 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 6 pieces Large flour tortillas
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and garlic powder on both sides.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Set aside and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans and cook until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for easier folding.
To assemble each burrito, lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of sour cream in the center, then layer with about 1/4 cup of rice, a few slices of chicken, 2 tablespoons of black beans, 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of salsa, a handful of shredded lettuce, a spoonful of diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll it from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling is tightly sealed inside.
Optional: Place the rolled burrito seam-side down on a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast it and help seal the burrito.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve the Chicken Burritos Grande warm with extra salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side as desired.
