Cook the Protein
If using chicken, grill or sauté 2 cups of chicken breast until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, about 6-7 minutes per side. For ground beef, cook in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 8-10 minutes. If using black beans, you can simply heat them on the stove until warm.

Prepare the Toppings
Wash and chop the lettuce and tomatoes. Grate the cheese if not pre-shredded. Set aside the salsa and sour cream.

Assemble the Burrito
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, add a scoop of cooked rice, followed by your choice of protein (chicken, beef, or beans), and then top with salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Wrap the Burrito
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the bottom up over the filling tightly. Continue rolling until the burrito is fully wrapped. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.
