Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup salsa
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
Instructions
Preheat your grill or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts.
Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and lime juice, rubbing it in.
Grill or cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, then dice it into small cubes.
In a large bowl, combine cooked rice, black beans, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about half a cup of the rice mixture in the center.
Top the rice mixture with a quarter of the diced chicken, diced tomatoes, and green onions.
Roll the burrito by folding in the sides, then rolling it from the bottom up, keeping it tight as you roll.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Optional: Grill the burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side for a crispy finish.
Serve the burritos warm with additional salsa on the side if desired.
