STEP 1:
BEAN HERE, DO THIS → Prep under pressure:
Pressure Cook the large kidney beans or rajma in about 2 cups of water and salt for at least 30 minutes. Once done, allow the pressure to release naturally from the cooker and keep the beans aside. This ensures that your beans are properly cooked and ready to take on the flavours that are about to follow.
STEP 2
SPICY SYNERGY → Blend in your flavours:
Heat oil in a skillet. Add in the garlic and sauté till it softens. Next, add the onions and fry till they turn translucent. Then add in the cooked rajma beans and tomatoes together. Sprinkle your salt and the spice powders listed under the ‘For the Beans’ section. Let it cook until the mixture comes together. Once done, set it aside and let it cool.
STEP 3
SIZZLING SUCCULENCE → Sauteed Perfection:
Cut the washed chicken breast into thin strips and set aside. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a saucepan. Add ginger and garlic, and sauté till they turn soft. Next, add the onions and fry till they turn translucent. Now, add the chicken and sprinkle the spice powders listed under ‘For the Chicken’. Stir to ensure that the spices coat the chicken, and let it cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, till the chicken is cooked through.
STEP 4
RICE TO THE OCCASION → Spice Up Your Rice:
Add a dash of oil to a pan and heat it. Then add the rice and the spices listed under ‘For the Rice’. Toss it all together and let it cook for a couple of minutes. Set aside.
STEP 5
GRILL EM RIGHT → Toss the Peppers:
Heat a little oil in a grill pan, and add the onions and bell peppers to it. Cook for a few minutes. Sprinkle the spice powders, toss, and cook till the bell peppers are soft. Set aside.
STEP 6
BRING YOUR APPETITE → Layer and Wrap:
To assemble, cook the tortillas for about 2 minutes on either side. Place the tortilla on a flat surface, such as a piece of foil or a board. Layer it with the rice, followed by some Mexican tomato salsa. Next, add the sauteed chicken, fried beans, fajitas, and sour cream. Roll tightly. Cut in half and serve.
Chicken Burrito Recipe Tips and Reminders →
- Turn it into a burrito bowl!
To convert this into a chicken burrito bowl recipe, follow steps 1 through 5. Rather than wrapping the filling in a tortilla, divide the rice between two or three bowls and layer the beans, chicken, and veggies over it.
- Bring on the heat
Warming up your tortillas before assembling them will make them more pliable and easier to wrap!
- Beans are always a good idea
Don’t skip the fried beans; they’re what make the burrito chicken filling juicy and hold it together nicely so that your filling doesn’t fall out.
