Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Marinate Time: 2 hrs
Total Time: 2 hrs 40 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  1. 10 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  2. ½ onion, cut into strips
  3. 5 ounces multi-colored bell pepper strips
  4. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  5. ½ lime, juiced
  6. 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  7. 4 (12 inch) flour tortillas
  8. 1 cup refried beans, warmed
  9. ⅔ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  10. 1 ½ cups cooked Mexican rice
  11. ¼ cup sour cream
  12. ⅓ cup guacamole

Instructions

  1. Place chicken, onion, bell pepper, oil, lime juice, and fajita seasoning in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and squeeze to ensure all ingredients are combined and well-coated; place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil. Spread fajita mixture onto sheet pan in a single layer.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken strips should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  4. Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel, and warm in the microwave until soft and pliable, about 30 seconds. To assemble burritos, spread 1/4 of each of the refried beans, cheese, rice, fajita mixture, sour cream, and guacamole in a line across the middle of each tortilla.
  5. Fold opposing sides of the tortilla in, overlapping the filling. Roll the bottom edge up tightly around the filling, then roll the burrito away from you, keeping the sides folded in.
  6. Feel free to use frozen fajita vegetables. Allow vegetables to thaw before adding to marinade.

These were easy and delicious! I opted to go the quick and easy route and used uncle bens ready rice for my Mexican rice. It was perfect in the burritos and made dinner come together in no time. The only thing my family agreed could improve them was some lettuce and tomato. Otherwise perfect.

I made it exactly as the recipe says, except I use bottled lime juice. I made my own Mexican rice to use in the burritos. This was a delicious meal!
