Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Guacamole and sour cream, for serving
Directions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with vegetable oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to make the flaming sauce.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Take a flour tortilla and place a generous amount of the chicken mixture in the center. Drizzle some of the flaming sauce over the filling. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
- Place the burrito seam-side down on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the tortilla is lightly charred. Flip the burrito and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Serve the flaming burritos with guacamole and sour cream on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
