Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked rice
• 2 cups grilled chicken, sliced or shredded
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
• Sour cream or guacamole for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, grilled chicken, black beans, and shredded cheese.
2. Add Chipotle Sauce: Drizzle the chipotle sauce over the mixture and gently stir until everything is well combined. Adjust the amount of sauce based on your heat preference.
3. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 of the filling mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
4. Cook the Burritos: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve: Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with sour cream or guacamole on the side.
