Step-by-Step Instructions for Seven Layer Chicken Burritos
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cook your seasoned chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Let rest for five minutes before shredding.
  2. Cook the Rice: Prepare rice according to package instructions, possibly using chicken broth for flavor. Simmer about 15-20 minutes, then fluff and set aside.
  3. Heat the Beans: In a small saucepan, warm your choice of beans for 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  4. Assemble Your Burrito: Layer beans and rice in a tortilla center, followed by shredded chicken, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
  5. Wrap Tightly: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll from the bottom to the top, securing the ingredients inside.
  6. Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately or wrap tightly in foil/plastic. Refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
