*New* Cali burrito

Rice type: medium grain sushi rice
Cook time: 25-30 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

200 g medium grain sushi rice (you can also use short grain sushi rice, long grain rice or brown rice)
2 tbsp olive oil
400 g skinless chicken breasts, diced (2 chicken breasts)
1 red onion, cut into strips
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (400 g can, 240 g beans)
200 g cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp chilli powder/chilli flakes
4 large flour tortillas
40 g cheddar cheese, grated

Optional fillings:
1 large avocado, sliced (approximately 150 g)
2 tbsp chipotle mayo

Step 1

Cook the rice as per pack instructions.

Step 2

In the meantime, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a 20 cm pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until fully cooked and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season to taste. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and red onion. Cook for 5 minutes until soft.

Step 4

Add the black beans, cherry tomatoes, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and the tomatoes soften.

Step 5

Season to taste.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave.

Step 7

Place a portion of the cooked rice in the centre of each tortilla.

Step 8

Top with the mayo (if using), black bean mixture, cooked chicken, sliced avocado (if using), and cheese.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito. Ensure the ends are tucked in to keep the filling from spilling out.
