Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 6 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized strips or cubes.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the spice mixture until evenly coated.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then add the seasoned chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Warm the black beans in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then set aside.
Lay out one tortilla on a flat surface. Add a generous spoonful of rice to the center, followed by cooked chicken, black beans, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top, if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Optional: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place each burrito seam-side down for 1-2 minutes on each side to lightly brown and seal.
Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
