Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 1 cup Canned black beans
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Salsa
- 2 cups Chopped lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with taco seasoning.
Cook the chicken in the skillet for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
While the chicken cooks, warm the cooked rice in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro for added flavor, if desired.
Drain and rinse the canned black beans, then heat them in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream in the center.
Add a layer of rice, followed by sliced chicken, black beans, shredded cheese, salsa, chopped lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll it from one end to the other to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients and tortillas to make 4 burritos in total.
Optional: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place the burritos seam-side down for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
