Chicken and Black Bean Burrito

What to make for lunch today?? I decided to make a quick chicken and black bean burrito. This is a great quick and easy meal to make. It's healthy as well with a great source of protein. Black beans have some of the highest protein found in food esp in beans, chicken as well. It's great to eat before or after a workout or just for some great "Mexican".

Main Ingredients:

1 Can of Black Beans 

2 Chicken Breast

1-2 cups of Organic Brown Rice

Seasoning for chicken:

1 tablespoon chili powder

• 4 crushed garlic cloves
• 1/2 white onion (diced or chopped)
• Small bunch of cilantro or corriander (UK)
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

2-3 Chicken Breast (cut into small chunks)

Seasoning for black beans:
Small bunch of chopped Cilantro (Coriander)
Half of a Jalapeno de-seeded (or just some jarred Jalapenos)
Salt
Pepper


Directions:
Put your rice in a pan and cover with about an inch of water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling stir once, cover and turn on low for about 20mins. When there is about 15 mins left start to make your chicken. Once there is about 5 mins left on the rice and the chicken start the beans. 


I used 2 Chicken breast, diced. Warm a deep frying pan with about a tablespoon of sunflower or veg oil. Put in the chicken, cook for about 2-3 mins of medium-high heat. Then add your spice mix. Cook for about another 10 mins on a low heat. You don't want to cook to long on a high heat because you will burn the spice and garlic. 


To make the beans just empty the can of beans in a pan on medium heat, add your cilantro (coriander), jalapenos, salt and pepper. I also added some chili powder (optional) 


Garnish with some home made salsa http://owenshealthouse.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/delicious-simple-salsa.html and sour cream
