Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice

  • 4 large flour tortillas, warmed

  • Black beans and grated cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onions and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the onions are soft.

  2. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned and nearly cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
