Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts (grilled and sliced)
- 2 ripe avocados (sliced or mashed)
- 1 cup cooked rice (optional, white or brown)
- 1 cup black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or roasted)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or spinach
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or cotija)
- 1 lime (cut into wedges)
- Salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste
- 4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
- Optional Toppings: Salsa or pico de gallo, Greek yogurt or sour cream, hot sauce or jalapeños, fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Grill over medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice into strips.
- Slice or mash avocados and squeeze lime juice to prevent browning. Prepare rice, beans, corn, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave for pliability.
- Lay a tortilla flat and layer with rice (if using), black beans, grilled chicken, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cheese. Add optional toppings like salsa or Greek yogurt. Fold the bottom edge up, then the sides inward, and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
- Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and toppings on the side. For meal prep, wrap individually in foil and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For gluten-free options, use corn tortillas or lettuce wraps.
- Vegan alternative: Substitute plant-based chicken, dairy-free cheese, and skip animal products.
- Use cauliflower rice or quinoa for a low-carb version.
- Freeze burritos tightly wrapped in foil for up to 3 months; reheat in the oven or microwave.
- Customize with your favorite salsas, sauces, or spice levels to suit your taste.
