- Honey
- Sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
- Black beans (canned, drained)
- Corn (fresh or frozen)
- Bell peppers (optional)

Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry and dice into small bite-sized pieces. Add to a bowl and mix in the oil, seasonings, lime juice, and chipotle peppers. Marinate for 15 minutes to 24 hours.
- Cook rice as per package instructions. In a food processor, blend sour cream (or Greek yogurt), chipotle peppers, honey, and other ingredients to make the sauce.
- Slice and dice veggies. In a skillet, cook the marinated chicken over medium heat for 12-15 minutes until fully cooked. Set aside.
- Sauté the bell peppers and onions in the same skillet for about 5 minutes.
- Combine the chicken and veggies. Warm tortillas, then fill with rice, chicken, veggies, cheese, and drizzle with sauce.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly, slice, and serve with extra sauce if desired.
Notes
- Adjust spice levels by using chipotle powder instead of chipotle peppers.
- Swap chicken breasts for thighs for a juicier, more tender texture.
