Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup Cooked black beans
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Prepared salsa
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over both chicken breasts and set aside for 10 minutes.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Warm the tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or until pliable.
To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla on a flat surface and spread 2 tablespoons of sour cream in the center. Add 1/2 cup of cooked rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, a handful of sliced grilled chicken, 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese, 2 tablespoons of salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Chicken Burritos with additional salsa or sour cream on the side, if desired.
