Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 tsp smoked paprika
4 large flour tortillas
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup tomato sauce
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and bake in a dish until cooked through (about 25-30 minutes).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then shred it using two forks.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, pinto beans, tomato sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder; mix well.
Warm tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.
Assemble burritos by placing generous amounts of the chicken-bean mixture on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro and lime juice before rolling them up.
Serve with sour cream on the side.
