Burrito Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a blender, combine the chipotle peppers, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Marinate the chicken breasts in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice or shred the chicken.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burritos

    On each tortilla, layer cooked rice, black beans, corn, sliced chicken, shredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and salsa. Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.

  4. 4

    Serve

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