Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized flour tortillas
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 large (juiced) lime
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup (cooked, drained, or canned) black beans
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 large (sliced) avocado
- 1 cup (crumbled) cotija cheese
- 0.5 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 1 small (deseeded and diced, optional) jalapeño
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the chicken breast cut into small strips, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked and browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.
Lay one warm tortilla flat and layer with a handful of spinach, 2-3 slices of avocado, a spoonful of black beans, a portion of the cooked chicken, a sprinkle of cotija cheese, and a few pieces of diced jalapeño (if using).
Drizzle a small amount of sour cream and a dash of hot sauce over the filling.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it tightly from bottom to top to create a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Garnish the rolled burritos with chopped cilantro before serving.
Enjoy your Tulum Style Hand Held Burritos with extra hot sauce on the side for those craving more heat!
