4- Assemble the Burrito:
- Lay a tortilla flat on a surface. Layer the desired amount of cheese, cilantro lime rice, black bean mixture, and chipotle chicken.
- Add additional toppings such as queso, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the burrito tightly.
5- Toast the Burrito:
- Heat a skillet on medium heat. Place the burrito seam side down and toast until golden brown.
