Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Lean grass-fed ground beef
• 0.5 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
• 4 pieces Slice of low-sodium turkey bacon
• 4 large Whole wheat tortillas
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Cooked brown rice
• 1 can (15 oz) No-salt-added black beans
• 0.5 large Red onion, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional), chopped
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 1 lime Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 2

Add minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Move the beef mixture to one side of the skillet, and add the remaining olive oil. Add the chicken breast, cut into small cubes, and cook for 6-7 minutes until thoroughly cooked.

Step 5

Remove the gold-plated frypan from the stove. Slice the already cooked turkey bacon into small bits, and add it to the meat mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper over the meat mixture. Stir well to ensure even seasoning.

Step 7

Drain and rinse the black beans, and add them to the skillet along with the cooked brown rice. Stir to combine all ingredients, and allow to heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave or on a hot skillet for about 30 seconds, until pliable.

Step 9

To assemble the burrito, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Layer the center with a portion of the meat and bean mixture, followed by shredded cheddar cheese, slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro if using.

Step 10

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from one end to the other to enclose the filling tightly.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 12

Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the burritos.
