Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 4 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 cup Black beans
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Diced avocado

Directions

Step 1

Begin by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture over both sides of each chicken breast.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the exterior is golden brown.

Step 4

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 5

Warm the gluten-free tortillas according to package instructions to make them more pliable for wrapping.

Step 6

Assemble the burritos by laying a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous spoonful of cooked white rice in the center of the tortilla.

Step 7

Top the rice with black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced chicken, diced tomatoes, and chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Add a dollop of sour cream and diced avocado on top of the fillings.

Step 9

Squeeze a little lime juice over the ingredients to enhance the flavors.

Step 10

Wrap the burrito tightly by folding in the sides over the filling and then rolling from one end to the other.

Step 11

Repeat the assembly with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

Step 12

Once all burritos are wrapped, either serve immediately as is or gently heat each burrito in a skillet for a minute on each side to melt the cheese and create a crispy exterior.
