Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp mild taco seasoning
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet.
Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the mild taco seasoning and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the chicken broth, lower the heat, and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.
While the chicken mixture is simmering, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
To assemble each burrito, spread a scoop of cooked white rice and a spoonful of black beans on a tortilla.
Layer with a portion of the chicken mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and chopped lettuce.
Roll the tortilla tightly to form a burrito, tucking in the edges as you go.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve the burritos warm with lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
