Method

Preparing the Chicken and Filling

1

Marinate the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and paprika. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove and let it rest.

3

Prepare the Chorizo Mixture

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped onions and sliced mushrooms, and sauté until onions are translucent. Crumble in the chorizo and cook until browned and cooked through.

4

Combine Fillings

Slice the cooked chicken and mix it with the chorizo, onion, and mushroom mixture. Add shredded cheese on top and allow it to melt slightly.

Cooking Rice and Beans

5

Cook the Rice

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until rice is tender.

6

Heat the Black Beans

In a small pot, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the Burritos

7

Warm the Tortillas

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

8

Fill the Tortillas

Place a generous portion of the chicken and chorizo mixture in the center of each tortilla, add a scoop of rice and black beans.

9

Roll the Burritos

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up. Optional: Secure with a toothpick if needed.
