How to Make Taco Bell Grilled Chicken Burritos

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized chunks.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
  6. Stir in 1 cup enchilada sauce into the cooked rice and gently heat through.
  7. Warm tortillas: either steam them for 30 seconds, microwave for 15 seconds, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds.
  8. Lay out a tortilla. Spread 1/4 of the chicken down the center.
  9. Top with 1/4 of the rice and cheese mixture.
  10. Sprinkle with sliced green onions to taste.
  11. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then fold the bottom up and over the filling, and roll tightly.
  12. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
  13. Optionally, microwave burritos for 20-30 seconds to melt the cheese further.
