Method

For the Chicken Burrito

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 7-10 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from skillet and shred the chicken.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Burrito

    In a large tortilla, layer cooked rice, black beans, shredded chicken, salsa, and shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling.

For the Chicken Enchilada

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Repeat the same process as above to cook another set of chicken breasts, seasoning them with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Shred the chicken once cooked.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium tortilla, place shredded chicken, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Cover with enchilada sauce and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

  3. 5

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

For Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the enchiladas are baking, prepare your toppings by shredding the lettuce and dicing the tomato.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Plate the burrito and enchilada together. Top both with shredded lettuce, a dollop of sour cream, and diced tomato.
