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.

Cook

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4. Let the rice stand covered off the heat until tender, about 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

Tips

Good to know

Chicken is safe to eat when the thickest pieces reach 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.

Swap it

Use dairy-free shredded cheese if you need a dairy-free burrito.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftover burritos promptly for up to 3 days, then reheat until hot throughout.
