Marinated Grilled Chicken

Grilled Peppers and Onions

Cilantro Lime Rice

Burrito Assembly

Method

Marinated Grilled Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest before slicing.

Grilled Peppers and Onions

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into strips.

  2. 5

    Grill the Vegetables

    In a bowl, toss the sliced peppers and onions with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.

Cilantro Lime Rice

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add long grain rice and salt, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until rice is cooked.

  2. 7

    Fluff and Season

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro.

Burrito Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Burrito

    On a large flour tortilla, layer sliced grilled chicken, grilled peppers and onions, cilantro lime rice, mixed cheese, white queso, adobo crema, shredded romaine, and pico de gallo.

  2. 9

    Wrap the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom up to create a tight burrito. Repeat for all tortillas.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Serve the burritos warm with a side of bacon charro beans. Enjoy!
