Servings: 4 servings
Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cups broth of choice
  • 1 T oil
  • 1 garlic clove or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 T lime juice
  • 1/2 – 1 cup cilantro chopped
  • 3 – 4 chicken breasts
  • 2-4 T taco seasoning
  • Olive oil spray
  • 6-8 cherry tomatoes slices
  • 1/2 green pepper chopped
  • 1/4 red onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
  • 4-6 burrito sized tortillas
  • Sour cream

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan heat the oil. Pour in rice and cook until it is translucent and turning lightly brown.
    Add broth, garlic, salt, and boil. Once boiling bring it down to a simmer and cover. Let sit for 10-12 minutes. Check to see that all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
    Fluff with a fork and put in a bowl. Sprinkle with lime juice and stir in cilantro.
    While the rice is cooking, spray chicken breasts with olive oil spray. Coat in seasoning mix. 
    Cook at 370 for 12 minutes in the air fryer. Then flip it and cook for another 12 minutes. Take the internal temperature. Chicken should be cooked to 165. If it is not there, start it again and cook for a few more minutes until it is done.
    Slice chicken.
    Assemble the burritos by first laying a tortilla down. Next in the middle put down cilantro lime rice. Layer chicken slices on top of the rice. Next add some of each cherry tomato, green pepper, red onion, 2 T salsa, 2 T cheddar cheese, and sour cream if you would like to.
    Then fold the burrito so the sides stay.
    Place in a heated frying pan to cook the tortillas.
    If you would like to freeze these wrap them in foil once they have cooled, label them, and place in the freezer for up to 3 months.
