Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned chili (with or without beans)
- 6 large Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat the canned chili in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through (about 5-7 minutes).
2. While the chili is warming, spread out the tortillas on a clean surface.
3. Divide the cooked rice evenly among the tortillas, placing it in a horizontal line down the center of each tortilla.
4. Once the chili is hot, spoon it evenly over the rice on each tortilla.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the chili for each burrito.
6. Add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa on top of the cheese. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
7. To roll the burritos, fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling tightly.
8. Optional: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and place the burritos seam-side down to toast for 1-2 minutes, then flip and toast the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!
