Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 can black beans
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- 1 cup guacamole
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest for a few minutes and then slice into strips.
While the chicken is resting, heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Drain excess liquid if necessary.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the burritos: lay a tortilla on a clean surface and layer 1/2 cup of cooked rice, black beans, sliced chipotle chicken, and a quarter of the cheese. Top with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of pico de gallo, and some guacamole.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom tightly.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve the burritos garnished with fresh cilantro.
