Instructions

  • Prep all ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Rinse the brown rice under cold water. Cook according to package directions using water. Once tender, season with salt and black pepper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to prepare the pico de gallo. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  • In another bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Stir in the lime juice, red onion, cilantro, and salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Pat the chicken dry and season evenly with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sauté, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and yellow onion and sauté until softened and lightly caramelized.
  • Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  • Assemble the burritos by layering brown rice, chicken, peppers, onions, pico de gallo, and shredded lettuce onto the tortillas. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
  • In a large glass or pitcher, combine the sparkling water, lemon slices, and chia seeds. Stir well and let sit for 2–3 minutes to allow the chia seeds to hydrate.
  • Serve the burritos with tortilla chips, guacamole, and lemon chia sparkling water.
