sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Start by browning 2 lbs of cubed boneless chicken thighs in a pan.

Add granulated onion, granulated garlic, black pepper, chili powder, oregano, and cumin to the chicken.

Stir the mixture for a couple of minutes to incorporate the spices.

Add uncooked rice and drained black beans to the pan.

Mix the rice and beans into the chicken mixture thoroughly.

Add chunky salsa and water to the pan.

Stir everything thoroughly and bring it up to a simmer.

Turn the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.

After 25 minutes, check that the rice is done and the chicken is tender.

Heat tortilla shells to keep them pliable and prevent tearing.

Add some Colby Jack cheese to the heated tortilla shell.

Scoop some of the burrito filling onto the tortilla.

Roll the burrito by folding in two opposite sides, then rolling the side closest to you over the filling and finishing with the seam side down.

Repeat the rolling process for another burrito.

Dress the burritos with sour cream, pico de gallo, and extra cheese if desired.

Mention that these can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve.
