Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper (or other desired spices such as paprika or garlic powder).
- Grill, bake, or pan-fry the chicken breasts until they are fully cooked and have an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Allow the chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes, then slice or shred them into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the white rice according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves boiling 2 cups of rice in 4 cups of water until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface.
- Place a generous spoonful of cooked rice in the center of the tortilla.
- Add a portion of the sliced or shredded chicken on top of the rice.
- Sprinkle some black beans over the chicken.
- Add a few halves of cherry tomatoes.
- Sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- To fold the wrap, take one side of the tortilla and fold it over the filling.
- Fold in the two sides towards the center.
- Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other to ensure the filling is securely wrapped.
- Serve the wraps immediately while the ingredients are warm.
- Optionally, you can warm the assembled wraps in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is slightly crispy.
- These wraps can be served with a side of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for extra flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious and hearty Chicken, Black Bean, and Rice Wraps with Cheddar Cheese!
Tips:
- Season the chicken breasts with your favorite spices or marinade to add more flavor.
- Cook the rice ahead of time to save time when assembling the wraps.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a pan or microwave to make them more pliable for wrapping.
- Chop the cherry tomatoes into smaller pieces for easier distribution in each wrap.
- Consider adding additional toppings like avocado, sour cream, or salsa for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier wrap, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
