Method

For the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

For the 3-Cheese Queso

  1. 3

    Prepare the Queso

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese and milk. Stir until smooth, then gradually add the shredded cheeses and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir in chili powder and cook until the cheese has melted and the mixture is well combined.

For the Pico de Gallo

  1. 4

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

For the Corn Salsa

  1. 5

    Prepare the Corn Salsa

    In a bowl, mix together corn, red bell pepper, red onion, lime juice, and salt. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes.

For the Cilantro Lime Rice

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add the rice and salt, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 18 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Cilantro and Lime

    Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice.

For Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Burrito

    On a flour tortilla, layer cilantro lime rice, black beans, sliced grilled chicken, 3-cheese queso, pico de gallo, and corn salsa. Top with shredded cheese.

  2. 9

    Wrap the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up. Serve immediately or in a bowl without the tortilla.
