Ingredients

• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
• 1 cup canned black beans
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• 0.5 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
• 0.75 cup guacamole or mashed avocado
• 2 pieces chicken breast, grilled and sliced (or substitute with tofu for a vegetarian option)
• 1 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup sweet corn (canned or fresh)
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Sprinkle the bell peppers with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to release the spices' aromas. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 4

Lay one tortilla flat and spread a line of guacamole down the center, leaving about an inch of space on each side for folding.

Step 5

Layer the cooked rice, black beans, shredded cheese, grilled chicken slices (or tofu), sautéed bell peppers, and a sprinkle of sweet corn.

Step 6

Top with a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to secure the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 8

Optional: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place the wrapped burrito seam side down. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side to toast the tortilla and seal the burrito.

Step 9

Serve immediately with extra salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on the side.
