Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 cup Canned black beans
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 cup Salsa
• 2 cups Chopped lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with taco seasoning.

Step 3

Cook the chicken in the skillet for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 4

While the chicken cooks, warm the cooked rice in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro for added flavor, if desired.

Step 5

Drain and rinse the canned black beans, then heat them in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.

Step 6

Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream in the center.

Step 7

Add a layer of rice, followed by sliced chicken, black beans, shredded cheese, salsa, chopped lettuce, and diced tomatoes.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining ingredients and tortillas to make 4 burritos in total.

Step 10

Optional: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place the burritos seam-side down for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Serve immediately with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
