Grilled Chicken Burrito Ingredients

Method

Directions for Grilled Chicken Burrito

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Burrito Fillings

    While the chicken rests, prepare the burrito fillings. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burrito

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Lay out a tortilla and add a portion of the rice and bean mixture, followed by the grilled chicken. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burrito warm, with extra salsa and sour cream on the side if desired.
