Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts (cut into bite size pieces)
1/2 tablespoon chipotle chili powder (sub regular chili powder)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (sub any vinegar)
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 bell peppers (sliced)
1/2 large or 1 small red onion (sliced)
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (14.5 ounces black beans, drained)
1/2 chipotle chili powder (sub regular chili powder)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 cup white or brown rice
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
8 large burrito tortillas
Salsa
Sour cream
Monterrey jack cheese
Guacamole

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: In a bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine the chicken, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and vinegar. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the chicken pieces for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan.
  • Prepare the fajita veggies: To the same pan, add in the olive oil, peppers, onion, oregano, and salt. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and caramelized.
  • Prepare the beans: Add the beans, chili powder, cumin, and lime juice to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the beans for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Prepare the cilantro lime rice: Prepare the rice according to package directions. Once cooked, stir in the olive oil or butter, lime juice, and cilantro.
  • Assemble the burritos: Place the tortillas between damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds to make them soft and pliable. Place each tortilla on large squares of tin foil. Place portions of the chicken, rice, veggies, beans, and any extra fixings in the middle of the tortilla. For each burrito, bring the bottom half of the tortilla up over the pile of fillings and tuck the bottom edge under the pile. Fold each side of the tortilla into the middle and roll up the burrito so it's seam side down and in the middle of the tin foil. Package up the burrito in the tin foil. Enjoy!`

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, chopped, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce from the can
One 14-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt
4 burrito-size flour tortillas
1 1/3 cups cooked white rice, warmed
1 1/3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 5 ounces)
1 1/3 cups shredded romaine lettuce
Guacamole, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup pico de gallo, the chopped chipotle and adobo sauce to taste; cook until the mixture starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the beans and 3/4 cup water; bring to a low boil, then stir in the chicken and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt.
  • Heat the tortillas as the label directs. Arrange the rice horizontally in the lower half of each tortilla, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on all sides. Top evenly with the cheese, chicken mixture, lettuce and the remaining pico de gallo.
  • Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla snugly over the filling, tuck in the sides and roll up tightly. Cut the burritos in half and serve with guacamole if using.
