– 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, diced
– 1 cup (200 g) Mexican rice
– 1 cup (240 g) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
– 4 medium tortillas
– 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
– 1 teaspoon (5 g) salt
– 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) black pepper
– 1 teaspoon (2 g) chili powder
Step 1: Start by marinating the diced chicken breast. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Make sure each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the rice.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan, cook the Mexican rice according to package instructions. Use water or chicken broth for added flavor, and once cooked, set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and sauté for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or directly over a flame for a few seconds on each side until they’re soft and pliable.
Step 5: Once the chicken is done, add the drained black beans to the skillet with the chicken and stir to combine. Let them heat through for about 2 minutes.
Step 6: To assemble the wraps, take a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the Mexican rice onto the center, followed by the chicken and bean mixture. Feel free to add any additional toppings like cheese, sour cream, or salsa if desired.
Step 7: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 8: Serve the wraps immediately while they’re warm. Enjoy your Spicy Chicken and Mexican Rice Wraps with your favorite condiments!
