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 (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Corn kernels (canned, drained or frozen and thawed)
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
• 6 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces to the skillet.

Step 3

Sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the black beans, corn kernels, and diced tomatoes. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet until soft and pliable.

Step 6

To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a scoop of cooked rice, followed by a few spoonfuls of the chicken mixture. Top with beans and vegetable mixture, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of hot sauce (if using).

Step 7

Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for freshness.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to form a burrito.

Step 9

Optional: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly toast each burrito seam-side down for 1-2 minutes to seal and add a crispy texture.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Fiesta Burritos!
