Ingredients

• 6 large Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
• 1.5 cups Cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Cooked chicken, beef, or tofu (shredded or diced)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1.5 cups Shredded lettuce
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 0.5 cup Guacamole or diced avocado
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. If using pre-cooked meat or tofu, warm it up in the skillet for 5-7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.

Step 2

Warm the flour tortillas on a large, dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side or microwave them for 10 seconds each to make them flexible.

Step 3

Assemble the burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat and spread 2-3 tablespoons of rice down the center. Add 2-3 tablespoons of black beans, followed by a portion of the cooked protein.

Step 4

Sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese over the fillings, then layer with a spoonful of sour cream, salsa, and guacamole or avocado.

Step 5

Top with fresh diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and chopped cilantro if using. Adjust the quantities based on your taste preferences.

Step 6

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom edge to form a burrito.

Step 7

Optional: To crisp up the burrito, place it seam-side down on a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes, then flip and toast the other side.

Step 8

Repeat the process for the remaining burritos.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for meal prepping. Enjoy your Go to Burritos with extra salsa or guacamole on the side!
