A flavorful and hearty burrito recipe perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy finish.
In a large skillet, sauté the onion until translucent, then add the black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until heated through.
Mash the beans slightly for a creamier texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, salsa, and shredded chicken.
Use warm rice for easier mixing.
Lay a tortilla flat, spread a portion of the bean mixture in the center, top with the rice mixture, and sprinkle with cheese. Fold into a burrito.
Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for a balanced bite.
Place the burritos on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden finish, broil for an additional 2 minutes.
Serve the burritos warm with your favorite toppings like sour cream or guacamole.
Garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor.
