1
Prepare the Beans
Rinse and drain the black beans. Heat them in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Season with salt to taste.
2
Cook the Rice
If using uncooked rice, cook according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork once cooked and set aside.
3
Chop the Vegetables
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and onion. Set aside for assembly.

4
Prepare Chicken Tinga
In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add shredded chicken, tinga sauce, and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
5
Prepare Shredded Beef
In a separate skillet, warm the shredded beef over medium heat until heated through, around 5 minutes.
6
Prepare Carnitas
If using store-bought carnitas, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and heated through, about 5-10 minutes.

7
Fill the Tortillas
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a portion of black beans, cooked rice, your choice of meat, chopped onions, and cilantro.
8
Wrap the Burrito
Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll from the bottom upwards to secure the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

9
Serve the Burritos
Cut the burritos in half and serve immediately with salsa or guacamole on the side, if desired.
