Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the rice

In a saucepan, combine rice with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2
Prepare the vegetables

Wash and deseed peppers, then slice into strips. Peel and slice the onion. If using frozen corn, thaw it.

3
Cook the chicken

Cut chicken into small pieces. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Add half the spices (such as cumin, chili powder, and oregano). Stir to coat chicken with spices. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

4
Cook the vegetables

In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Add peppers and onions. Cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add corn and remaining spices. Cook for 2 more minutes.

5
Combine chicken and vegetables

Return chicken to the skillet with vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through.

6
Warm the tortillas

Warm tortillas according to package directions. You can microwave them covered with a damp paper towel for 30 seconds. Or heat in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side.

7
Assemble the burritos

Lay a tortilla flat on a work surface. Place 1/4 of the rice in the center, forming a line. Top with 1/4 of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Add 1/4 of the cheese and a spoonful of salsa.

8
Fold the burritos

Fold in the sides of the tortilla. Fold up the bottom over the filling. Roll tightly away from you to form a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

9
Toast the burritos (optional)

Place burritos seam-side down in a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

10
Serve

Serve immediately, whole or cut in half. Offer additional salsa on the side if desired.
