Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Sour cream for garnish
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Directions:
First, preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Rub the chicken and beef with olive oil, then season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Grill the chicken and beef until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once done, remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken and beef are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Add the black beans and salsa to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a plate. Place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture in the center of the tortilla. Top with sliced chicken and beef, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up from the bottom to create a burrito.
Place the burritos seam-side down in a baking dish. Top with additional shredded cheese, if desired. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
To serve, top the burritos with a dollop of sour cream and fresh cilantro.
Variations:
This recipe can easily be customized to fit your taste preferences. Here are a few ideas:
- Use different cuts of meat such as flank steak or pork loin
