Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare the Burrito Filling:
- In a large bowl, mix together the black beans, cooked rice, shredded cheese, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, corn kernels, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the barbecue chicken onto the center of the tortilla.
- Add a generous scoop of the bean and vegetable mixture on top of the chicken.
- Wrap the Burritos:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely.
- Warm the Burritos:
- Optionally, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Slice the burritos in half and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
