21 -
1½ tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

# Instructions:
01 -
Pat chicken dry and cut into bite-sized pieces. Mix with olive oil, lime juice, and all the seasonings in a bowl. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to soak up the flavors.
02 -
Get your rice cooking according to package directions. While it's bubbling away, blend up your crema - mix sour cream, honey, chipotle, lime juice, cilantro, water, and salt until smooth.
03 -
Heat up your skillet and cook the marinated chicken for about 12-15 minutes until it's nicely browned and cooked through. Set aside once done.
04 -
In the same pan, cook up your bell pepper, jalapeño, red onion, and garlic until they're soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Toss the chicken back in to warm everything up together.
05 -
Lay out your tortillas and start building - first rice, then your chicken-veggie mix, beans, corn, and cotija cheese. Drizzle with that tasty crema you made.
06 -
Fold in the sides of your tortilla and roll it up nice and tight. Cut in half if you like, and maybe serve with extra crema for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Make these gluten-free by using corn tortillas instead of wheat ones.
02 -
Adjust the heat level by changing how much chipotle and jalapeño you use.
03 -
The chicken can marinate overnight for even better flavor.
