Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound chicken breast , boneless, skinless
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 cups Mexican rice , prepared
- 15 oz refried beans (one regular can)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 tablespoons sour cream
- 8 large 10-inch flour tortillas (burrito size tortillas)
Instructions
- Add the vegetable oil to a cast iron skillet on medium heat, season the chicken with salt and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side before removing from the pan and adding in the onion and garlic to skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Chicken will not be fully cooked yet.
- Add tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, lime juice and water. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a slight boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until thoroughly heated while you chop the chicken finely and add it back into the pan to cook down with the mixture.
- Remove from heat and let stand 15 minutes or until mixture comes to warm room temperature.
- Lay tortillas out on a flat surface and divide the beans, chicken, rice, cheddar cheese and sour cream among the 8 tortillas. Fold each burrito-style.
- Serve immediately or wrap each burrito with saran wrap, and then place burritos in a freezer-safe ziplock bag. Freeze up to 2 months.
