Method
- In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of warm water. Bring to a boil and allow to cook on a high heat for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender. Drain any excess water. Add the pesto and salt to the cooked rice and mix well. Set aside.
- Add 2 tbsp olive oil to a medium saucepan and bring to a medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook on each side for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the heat and allow to rest. Once your chicken has rested for 10 minutes slice as desired.
- Add the drained kidney beans and the remaining olive oil to a medium saucepan and sauté on medium-high heat until the kidney beans pop open. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Assemble your burritos: in the middle of the soft tortilla, layer rice, salsa, red kidney beans, chicken, and avocado. Sprinkle with salt, fold to toast on either side, and enjoy!
