To make these delicious burritos, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
To start, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper, and stir to coat the chicken evenly.
Next, add the cooked rice and salsa to the skillet, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the rice is heated through and the flavors have melded together.
To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon a generous amount of the chicken and rice mixture onto the center. Top with shredded cheese and chopped cilantro, then fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up tightly.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, then serve hot and enjoy!
These Spicy Chicken and Rice Burritos are the perfect combination of spicy and savory, with a satisfying crunch from the tortilla and a burst of fresh flavor from the cilantro. They're a great option for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, or for a fun and festive party dish.
