Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Tortillas (large, burrito-sized)
- 3 cups Shredded chicken (cooked)
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup Black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce (red or green)
- 1 4-ounce can Diced green chilies
- 0.5 cup Diced onions (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Cooking spray or oil
- optional Sour cream (for serving)
- optional Sliced avocado (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, rice, black beans, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chilies, and diced onions (if using). Mix until well combined.
Lay a tortilla flat on your work surface. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the chicken and rice mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Fold the sides in and roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Place it seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the burritos, making sure they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and all of the Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the burritos.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve with sour cream, sliced avocado, or your favorite toppings on the side.
