Ingredients:

• 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
• 1 lime, juiced
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup cooked rice (preferably cilantro lime rice)
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup guacamole
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, vegetable oil, fajita seasoning, and lime juice. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook the Chicken and Vegetables: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it is no longer pink and has a nice sear, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet and mix with the vegetables.
3. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet until they are soft and pliable.
4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, add a portion of cooked rice, black beans, chicken and vegetable mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
5. Serve: Cut the burritos in half, if desired, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with additional sour cream, guacamole, and lime wedges on the side.
