🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great!)

  • 1 cup cooked rice

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

  • 1 cup salsa or enchilada sauce

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • ½ tsp cumin

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 6 large flour tortillas

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix the filling:
    In a large bowl, combine chicken, rice, beans, corn, salsa, cheese, and spices. Mix well until everything is coated and flavorful.

  3. Assemble the burritos:
    Spoon about ½ cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly.

  4. Prepare to bake:
    Place burritos seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil or butter for crispiness.

  5. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and crisp on top.

  6. Serve hot:
    Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, or extra salsa on the side. 🌶️🥑

🌮 Serving Ideas

  • Serve with Mexican rice, pico de gallo, or a simple side salad.

  • Top with queso or enchilada sauce for extra indulgence.

  • Great for meal prep — just wrap individually and reheat later!

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Swap chicken for ground beef, shredded pork, or tofu for variety.

  • Add sautéed bell peppers or onions for extra flavor.
