Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup cooked rice ((brown or white) warm or at room temperature)
  • 1 cup cooked (shredded chicken (or shredded pork or beef etc.))
  • 1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 green onion (finely sliced)
  • 1/2 red or green pepper (diced)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, Monterey jack etc.)
  • Sour cream (optional)
  • 6 burrito-sized flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix rice together with chili powder, cumin and garlic salt. Add remaining ingredients except for cheese and sour cream. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken and rice mixture down the center of each tortilla. (Optional: Add a little sour cream in the wraps.) Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open and slightly flatten the wraps with the palm of your hand. Spray seam-side of the wrap lightly with cooking spray.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange wraps, seam-side down, in pan or griddle and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve warm.

Notes

*To bake: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Either wrap up tortillas with mixture with one end open or burrito style. Add 1 Tbsp. melted butter to a small bowl and add 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil. Brush the sheet with the butter/oil mixture then place the wraps on top , seam side down, and brush the tops with the butter/oil mixture. Bake for 4-5 minutes. Flip them around and bake another 3-4 minutes, or until desired crispiness is reached. (Keep your eye on it.)
