Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece lime, juiced
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
• 1 cup guacamole
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup salsa

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, mix the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix cooked white rice with freshly chopped cilantro and lime juice to create cilantro lime rice.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.

Step 6

To assemble the burritos, lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a layer of cilantro lime rice in the center of the tortilla.

Step 7

Add some black beans, followed by a few slices of chipotle chicken.

Step 8

Top with shredded cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, guacamole, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other to form a burrito.

Step 10

Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.

Step 11

Serve the chipotle burritos warm, optionally with extra salsa or hot sauce on the side.
