Steps
Steps
- 1Mix the cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder and chilli powder with the juice of 1 lime, 1 tbsp of the oil and 1 tsp salt. Coat the chicken and leave for 30 minutes.
- 2Rinse the rice and put it in a pan with the water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, then rest covered for 5 minutes and fork in the juice of the second lime and the coriander.
- 3Warm the beans in a small pan with a pinch of salt, crushing a few with a fork so they bind.
- 4Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes a side, until charred at the edges and 75°C inside. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- 5Warm each tortilla in a dry pan for 20 seconds a side so it folds without cracking.
- 6Lay a line of rice, beans, chicken, cheddar, salsa and soured cream across the lower third of each tortilla, leaving 5 cm free at each side. Don't overfill.
- 7Fold the sides in over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom, tucking the filling in as you go.
- 8Toast the burritos seam side down in the dry pan for 1–2 minutes until golden and sealed, turn and toast the other side, then halve and serve.
