Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

How to Make Chicken Burrito

1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
3. While the chicken is resting, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside.
4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
5. To assemble the burritos, place a generous amount of chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes on each tortilla. Add the sliced chicken on top, followed by a drizzle of the creamy sauce.
6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
7. Serve the burritos warm, with extra creamy sauce on the side if desired.

To ensure your burritos are perfect every time:

• Allow the chicken to rest before slicing to retain its juices.
• Warm tortillas before filling to prevent tearing.
• Feel free to add other toppings like avocado or shredded cheese for extra flavor.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the chicken accurately.

Easy Variations

• Swap out chicken for shredded beef or beans for a vegetarian option.
• Add bell peppers or corn for extra crunch and sweetness.
• Use whole wheat or corn tortillas for a different twist.
• Experiment with different sauces, such as salsa or guacamole.

What to Serve With It

• Mexican rice or cilantro lime rice
• Black beans or refried beans
• Fresh guacamole and tortilla chips
• Simple green salad with lime vinaigrette

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover burritos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap in foil and place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but the oven will keep the tortilla crispy.
