Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet. Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Add water to the skillet and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the chicken cool for a few minutes, then shred it using two forks.
Step 2: Make the Salsa
In a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Guacamole
In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Add the diced onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Step 4: Assemble the Burritos
Lay out the burrito tortillas on a clean surface. Add a scoop of rice to the center of each tortilla. Top with a scoop of black beans, shredded chicken, salsa, guacamole, and shredded cheese. Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then roll up from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Place the burritos on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are slightly crispy. Serve with sour cream if desired.
