Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1.5 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 cups Black beans
• 1 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 0.5 cups Salsa
• 1 cup Lettuce (shredded)
• 1 cup Tomatoes (diced)
• 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 6 pieces Large flour tortillas

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3

Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Set aside and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans and cook until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for easier folding.

Step 6

To assemble each burrito, lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of sour cream in the center, then layer with about 1/4 cup of rice, a few slices of chicken, 2 tablespoons of black beans, 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of salsa, a handful of shredded lettuce, a spoonful of diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll it from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling is tightly sealed inside.

Step 8

Optional: Place the rolled burrito seam-side down on a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast it and help seal the burrito.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 10

Serve the Chicken Burritos Grande warm with extra salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side as desired.
