Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Slice chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet.

Step 3

Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the mild taco seasoning and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, lower the heat, and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.

Step 7

While the chicken mixture is simmering, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.

Step 8

To assemble each burrito, spread a scoop of cooked white rice and a spoonful of black beans on a tortilla.

Step 9

Layer with a portion of the chicken mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and chopped lettuce.

Step 10

Roll the tortilla tightly to form a burrito, tucking in the edges as you go.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 12

Serve the burritos warm with lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
