Chicken Burritos
Pan-crisped burritos are filled with seasoned chicken, black beans, rice, salsa, and a little cheese. The filling cooks while the rice simmers, so both are ready to roll at the same time.

Step 1. Bring White Rice, Water, and one-third of the Salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Cover and simmer over low heat until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
-
Step 2. Meanwhile, toss Chicken Breast with Cumin, Paprika, and the rest of the Salt. Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, stirring, until browned and no longer pink inside, about 7 minutes.
-
Step 3. Stir Black Beans and Salsa into the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the beans are hot and the mixture is thick, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
-
Step 4. Let the rice stand covered off the heat until tender, about 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
-
Step 5. Warm Tortilla briefly so they fold without cracking. Divide the rice, chicken mixture, and Cheddar Cheese among them. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
-
Step 6. Place the burritos seam-side down in the wiped-out skillet over medium heat, working in batches if needed. Toast, turning once, until browned and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes per batch.
