  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 4 large flour tortillas

  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

  • ½ cup black beans (rinsed and drained)

  • ½ cup corn (optional)

  • ½ cup salsa or hot sauce

  • Optional: sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, diced tomatoes, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and season with chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

  2. Stir well and cook for 3–4 minutes until heated through and coated in the spices.

  3. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.

  4. To assemble each burrito: layer rice, chicken, beans, corn, cheese, and salsa. Add any optional toppings you like.

  5. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.

  6. Optional: Place burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet and toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

  7. Slice and serve warm!

Notes

  • Make it extra spicy by adding chopped jalapeños or using a spicy salsa.

  • Make it healthier with whole wheat tortillas and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

  • Perfect for meal prep: wrap in foil and store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
