Burrito Filling

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, and chopped onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, cooked rice, black beans, chopped cilantro, lime juice, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Assemble the Burritos

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place about 1 cup of the filling mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.

  3. 6

    Wrap the Burritos

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve warm with extra salsa and sour cream on the side.
