Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 2 cups (drained and rinsed) Seasoned black beans
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1.5 cups Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 10 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 10 pieces Foil or plastic wrap (for wrapping burritos)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken, salsa, and taco seasoning. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld together. Remove from heat.
Set up a burrito assembly station with the seasoned chicken, black beans, cooked rice, shredded cheese, sour cream, and optional chopped cilantro in separate bowls.
Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, add 1/2 cup of seasoned chicken, 2 tablespoons of black beans, 2 tablespoons of cooked rice, 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese, 1 tablespoon of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cilantro (if using).
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a secure burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap. Place the wrapped burritos in a large freezer-safe bag or container.
To freeze, lay the burritos flat in the freezer. They will keep well for up to 3 months.
To reheat, remove the foil or plastic wrap. Microwave the burrito on a microwave-safe plate for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, heat in the oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes if you prefer a crisp exterior.
Serve as-is, or pair with your favorite toppings or sides such as guacamole, extra salsa, or a fresh salad.
