Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 cup White rice
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the rice. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, chicken broth, and butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and stir in lime zest. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then dice into small chunks.
In another small bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, and hot sauce to create the creamy sauce. Adjust the hot sauce to taste if desired.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the burritos, lay each tortilla flat. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the creamy sauce down the center, followed by a scoop of rice, diced chicken, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from bottom to top to create a burrito. Repeat for all tortillas.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and lightly crisped.
Remove from skillet and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade grilled chicken burritos!
