BUILD YOUR BURRITO

  1. Warm Tortilla in a dry frying pan or microwave. This makes it more pliable and less likely to tear.
  2. Leaving a couple inches at each end for rolling up, place a large dollop of Re-fried Beans down the center of the tortilla. Then add a large spoonful of Rice and Chicken mixture.
  3. Top that with Cheese, Lettuce, Sour Cream, Avocado & Salsa. Customize this to how you like, but make sure ingredients are spread “evenly”.
  4. Fold one side in and then roll the Burrito over. Serve & ENJOY!
