Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: salsa sour cream, guacamole

Method
 

  1. Instructions: 1 In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, and cooked rice. Mix well.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  3. Scoop about 1/2 cup of the chicken, bean, and rice mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
  4. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture.
  5. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to create a burrito.
  6. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Optional: Heat a skillet over medium heat and place each burrito, seam-side down, in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
  9. Notes: These burritos make great leftovers! Just wrap them in foil and reheat in the oven or microwave. Customize with your favorite ingredients—add some diced bell peppers, corn, or jalapeños for extra flavor. Perfect for meal prep!
  10. Make a batch and freeze for easy grab-and-go meals.
