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
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, grilled chicken, black beans, and shredded cheese.
- 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.
- 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.
