Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas 10–12 inch
- 1½ cups cooked shredded chicken rotisserie or leftover
- 1 cup cooked rice white, brown, or Spanish
- ¾ cup refried beans canned or homemade
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend
- ½ cup salsa or pico de gallo
- ½ cup shredded lettuce
- ¼ cup sour cream or guacamole or both
- Optional: jalapeños chopped tomatoes, hot sauce, cilantro
Instructions
- Warm the tortillas: Heat each tortilla for 10–15 seconds in the microwave or a dry skillet to make rolling easier.
- Layer your fillings: Down the center of each tortilla, layer refried beans, rice, chicken, cheese, salsa, lettuce, and sour cream or guacamole.
- Roll it up: Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom.
- Toast (optional but delicious): Place seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Toast for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and warm.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice in half and dig in, or wrap for later if meal prepping!
Notes
- Use black beans instead of refried for a chunkier texture.
- Add corn, sautéed bell peppers, or chopped onions for extra layers.
- Burritos can be frozen individually—wrap tightly in foil and label.
- Want it spicy? Mix chipotle in adobo or hot sauce into the chicken or salsa.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary needs.
