Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Special equipment needed:
- Large skillet
- Blender or food processor
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
2. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and season with cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
3. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to cool slightly. In the same skillet, add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
4. In a blender or food processor, combine sour cream and white chocolate chips. Blend until smooth.
5. Add the sour cream mixture to the skillet with the chicken broth and whisk until well combined. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
6. Shred the chicken and add it back to the skillet with the sauce. Stir in chopped cilantro.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lay out flour tortillas and divide cooked rice, black beans, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly among them.
8. Spoon chicken and sauce mixture over the top of each tortilla. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burritos are heated through.
