  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delicious burritos. Feel free to get creative with substitutions if needed!

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado slices, chopped cilantro

Instructions

Let’s bring these burritos to life with some simple steps. Cooking is all about enjoying the process, so don’t stress about perfection!

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let the spices infuse the chicken for another 2 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked rice and salsa to the skillet, mixing everything well. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to heat through.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheese, allowing it to melt into the mixture.
  6. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.
  7. Lay each tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the chicken and rice filling into the center. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom.
  8. Serve the burritos with optional toppings like sour cream, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro for that extra touch of freshness.
