# Instructions:
01 -
Warm the olive oil in a big pan over medium. Toss in the chicken, salsa, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and some salt to season. Stir for 3 to 4 minutes until it's all hot.
02 -
In a small pot, stir together the black beans, chili powder, salsa, and cumin. Let it bubble gently for 10 minutes, then take it off the heat.
03 -
In a bowl, combine the warm cooked rice with lime juice, butter, and cilantro. Add salt to taste, then set it aside.
04 -
Preheat a big non-stick skillet over medium and grease lightly. Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese closer to the center of each tortilla. Stack beans, chicken, lime rice, guacamole, more cheese, sour cream, and some pico de gallo in a horizontal row towards the bottom of the tortilla.
05 -
Fold the sides inward first, then roll the tortilla tightly starting from the bottom edge, holding in the filling. Spray the outside lightly with cooking spray. With the seam facing down, grill in the preheated skillet for 3-4 minutes, then flip to toast the other side until golden.
06 -
Slice each burrito in half. Serve with chips, extra guacamole, spicier sauces, or more salsa—you pick!
# Notes:
01 -
Layering in the right order keeps the flavors balanced in every bite.
02 -
For an extra-crispy shell, grill it a bit longer—about 1-2 extra minutes per side does the trick.
