Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make One-Pan Chicken Burrito Skillet.
Step 1
Begin by warming canola oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Introduce the chicken pieces and sauté for approximately three minutes, stirring occasionally until they develop a lovely golden-brown hue.
Step 3
Next, add the chopped onion and taco seasoning, allowing them to mingle in the skillet for an additional two minutes, stirring frequently to enhance the flavors.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to incorporate the black beans, undrained diced tomatoes, and a splash of water.
Step 5
Bring this vibrant mixture to a rolling boil.
Step 6
Once boiling, gently fold in the uncooked brown rice.
Step 7
Cover the skillet, lower the heat, and let it simmer for seven to ten minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the delicious liquid.
Step 8
When the rice is ready, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in half a cup of the cheese blend until it melts into a creamy delight.
Step 9
For the finishing touch, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and, if you like, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy this hearty dish that brings warmth and comfort to your table!.
