Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken breasts to the skillet and season with cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

  3. 3

    Rest and Shred

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.

Assembling the Burritos

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On each tortilla, layer 1/4 cup of cooked rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, shredded chicken, and 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.

  3. 6

    Add Fresh Ingredients

    Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and drizzle with lime juice.

  4. 7

    Roll the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito.

Serving the Burritos

  1. 8

    Plate and Serve

    Cut the burritos in half, if desired, and serve with additional lime wedges or salsa on the side.
