Method

Preparation of Proteins

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken or Steak

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken or steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Protein

    Preheat the grill over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken or steak for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté Onions and Peppers

    Slice the onion and bell peppers into thin strips. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and peppers, sautéing until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the Burrito

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas until soft and pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a portion of grilled chicken or steak, sautéed onions, and peppers on each tortilla. Drizzle with green sauce, and top with sour cream and guacamole.

Final Steps

  1. 6

    Wrap the Burrito

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

  2. 7

    Serve

    Cut the burrito in half if desired and serve with extra green sauce, sour cream, and guacamole on the side.
