Burrito Filling

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the chicken breasts, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.

  3. 3

    Mix the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked rice, black beans, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burritos

    Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Add a dollop of sour cream and some salsa. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom.

  5. 5

    Serve

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