Method

Marinated Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.

Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Beans

  1. 4

    Heat the Beans

    In a small saucepan, combine the black beans, cumin, and salt. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.

Cook Chicken

  1. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Burritos

    Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer rice, black beans, sliced chicken, shredded cheese, and salsa. If desired, add fresh cilantro. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to enclose the filling.

  2. 7

    Serve

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