Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup Black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 piece Ripe avocado (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center (internal temperature of 165°F).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding it with two forks.
While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas in a microwave or skillet to make them more pliable.
Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Add 1/4 cup of rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, and an appropriate portion of shredded chicken to the center.
Top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Optional: Lightly toast the burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side for a crispy exterior.
Serve immediately and enjoy your awesome chicken burritos!
