Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
• 1 cup Black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 piece Ripe avocado (sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center (internal temperature of 165°F).

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding it with two forks.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas in a microwave or skillet to make them more pliable.

Step 6

Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Add 1/4 cup of rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, and an appropriate portion of shredded chicken to the center.

Step 7

Top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

Step 10

Optional: Lightly toast the burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side for a crispy exterior.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your awesome chicken burritos!
