Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 can black beans
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup pico de gallo
• 1 cup guacamole
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest for a few minutes and then slice into strips.

Step 4

While the chicken is resting, heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Drain excess liquid if necessary.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the burritos: lay a tortilla on a clean surface and layer 1/2 cup of cooked rice, black beans, sliced chipotle chicken, and a quarter of the cheese. Top with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of pico de gallo, and some guacamole.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom tightly.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 9

Serve the burritos garnished with fresh cilantro.
