Instructions

For Marinade:

  • Add the chicken breasts, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or longer, if you can (turning halfway through)

After chicken is flavored:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Grill or cook the chicken breasts in 1 Tbsp. of olive oil until cooked through
  • Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces
  • In a large skillet over med-high heat, add olive oil, and saute onions until they are tender and translucent (another optional add-in right here would be sliced bell peppers - cook along with the onions)
  • Add the chicken breasts & prepared rice mixture to the cooked vegetables
  • Cook until heated through
  • Spoon Mixture evenly into Tortillas, and roll tortilla Place rolled burritos into a 9x13 casserole dish
  • Cover burritos heavily with shredded cheese
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until burritos are heated through and the cheese is melted & gooey
  • Sprinkle cilantro on top of burritos
  • Serve with bean salsa, any leftover rice, avocados, and sour cream

Notes

  • If you like a wet burrito, then add enchilada sauce to the bottom of the pan before placing burritos in pan and to the tops, before sprinkling any cheese on top of the burritos
  • Another great add-in for this recipe could be sliced green pepper. Throw that in with the onion and saute'
