Method
Prepare Rice
- 1
Cook the Rice
In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of white rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Prepare Beans

Sauté the Beans
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1 cup of canned black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.
Prepare Meat

Shred the Chicken
If not already shredded, take 1 cup of cooked chicken and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Wrap the Burrito
To wrap the burrito, fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it from the bottom up tightly to encase the filling. Place seam-side down on a plate.
