Ingredients




2 large chicken breasts
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
½ tsp cumin
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 avocado, sliced, tossed with lime juice, salt & pepper
brown rice, cooked and rinsed to remove the sticky starch
freshly shredded cheddar
cilantro
lime wedges, for serving
salsa
extra large tortillas

Preparation

1 In a small bowl mix together the chili powder, salt, garlic powder, oregano, cumin and olive oil. 2 Slather the rub all over the chicken breasts. Let it sit on there for about 30 minutes in the fridge. 3 Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken. When the juices run clear, the chicken should be cooked through. Allow to rest a few minutes before slicing. 4 On the tortilla, layer some cheddar, brown rice, sliced grilled chicken, avocado slices and fresh cilantro. 5 To assemble, fold over the side closest to you, then fold the sides in a little bit and from there go ahead and just roll the whole thing until closed. 6 Placed onto a panini press and cook just until you've got those great grill marks and the cheese is melted. 7 Serve with lime wedges and salsa. I also shoved in some extra cilantro after cutting the burrito because I am one of those that LOVES cilantro!

About

One of my favorite cuisines to cook is Mexican! I don’t mean the greasy, overly cheesy… I’m talking bright fresh flavors like in this Grilled Chicken, Avocado, Rice & Cheddar Burrito. Perfectly seasoned grilled chicken breast with just a little bit of spice and a good char off the grill. It pairs perfectly with the creamy avocado, sharp cheddar and some brown rice in there as well. Pressed just before serving and wow, what a delicious meal!
