Ingredients

Scale
  • 0.75 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chipotle pepper in adobo
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 small red bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeño
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ¾ cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans
  • ¼ cup cotija cheese
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 1½ tbsp honey
  • ½–1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1–2 tbsp water
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Whisk until smooth, then stir in the olive oil and chipotle peppers in adobo. Place the chicken in a ziplock bag, pour the marinade over it, seal tightly, and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add to a pot with double the amount of water and bring it to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: Slice the red bell pepper, jalapeño, and red onion. In a heated skillet with olive oil, add the sliced veggies and minced garlic, sauté for about 4-5 minutes. Stir in corn and black beans. Season with salt.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice into strips.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: If desired, warm the tortillas. Spread the sour cream, honey, lime juice, and chipotle peppers mixture on each tortilla. Layer with rice, sautéed veggies, sliced chicken, cotija cheese, and cilantro. Roll the tortillas and serve.
