Ingredients
- Chicken breasts
- 2, boneless and skinless
- Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons
- Cooked rice
- 1 cup
- Canned black beans
- 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- Shredded cheese
- 1 cup (cheddar or mexican blend)
- Tortillas
- 4 large (10-inch) flour or corn
- Sour cream
- 1/2 cup
- Salsa
- 1/2 cup
- Lettuce
- 1 cup, shredded
- Tomatoes
- 1 cup, diced
- Avocado
- 1, sliced
- Cilantro
- 1/4 cup, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts generously with taco seasoning on both sides.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil if desired and cook the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Once rested, slice it into thin strips.
- Warm the tortillas in the oven for about 5 minutes to make them pliable.
- On a flat surface, place a warmed tortilla and spread a spoonful of cooked rice in the center.
- Add a spoonful of black beans, a few strips of chicken, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Place the assembled burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crispy.
- Serve the burritos hot with dollops of sour cream, salsa, and topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
Tips
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in taco seasoning and lime juice for an hour before cooking.
- Feel free to customize your burrito with additional fillings like corn, jalapeños, or guacamole.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute the chicken with grilled vegetables or tofu.
