Description

Tasty, easy-to-prepare chicken burritos filled with seasoned chicken, rice, black beans, corn, and veggies, wrapped in warm tortillas for a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner. Ideal for meal prepping and busy schedules.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into small pieces
1 cup uncooked white or brown rice
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 cup diced bell peppers
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet taco seasoning
68 tortillas
Shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and any other desired toppings


Instructions

Dice the onion and bell peppers into small, even cubes.
Cook the chicken in a skillet with a little oil until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the taco seasoning and cook for an additional minute.
Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Typically, it’s a 2:1 ratio of water to rice, brought to a boil, then reduced to a simmer, covered, and cooked until the water is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, heat another skillet with a little oil and sauté the diced onion and bell peppers until they start to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the black beans, corn kernels, and cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
Assemble the burritos by spooning the chicken and vegetable mixture onto a tortilla, add rice on top or alongside, and any desired toppings. Fold the edges of the tortilla and roll tightly.

Notes

Adjust seasoning to your taste preference for spiciness.
Use brown rice for a healthier, higher-fiber option.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month before assembling.
