Instructions
- Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix them thoroughly. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they’re well-coated. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- While waiting, prepare your salsa by mixing your favorite vegetables with some lime juice. Adjust according to your taste.
- After marinating, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes each side or until thoroughly cooked. Once done, set aside and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- Using the same pan, throw in the sliced bell pepper. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn slightly soft.
- It’s assembly time! Lay out your tortilla on a flat surface. Place an even amount of brown rice at the center. Top it with black beans, bell peppers, slices of avocado, and your chopped cilantro.
- Slice the chicken breasts thinly and place them on top of the veggies.
- Drizzle the Greek yogurt and add your salsa.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, and then roll it up from the bottom. Make sure everything stays inside!
Tips
- Want a spicier kick? Try adding a touch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to your salsa mix.
- For those looking to cut down on carbs, you can opt for a lettuce wrap instead of a tortilla.
- Always let your cooked chicken rest before slicing. This ensures all those juices stay inside, making your chicken burritos extra juicy.
