Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

½ cup sour cream

½ cup salsa (mild or spicy, to taste)

4 large flour tortillas

Olive oil or cooking spray

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tortillas: Lightly brush both sides of the flour tortillas with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly toast each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they are warm and pliable. Set aside.

    Layer the Ingredients: On each tortilla, start layering the ingredients in the following order:

      - Start with a generous scoop of shredded chicken.

        - Add a layer of black beans, spreading them evenly.

          - Follow with corn.

            - Next, add the diced avocado, spreading it evenly over the layer.

              - Then, add shredded lettuce.

                - Top with diced tomatoes and shredded cheese.

                  - Finally, dollop on some sour cream and drizzle with salsa.

                    Wrap the Burritos: Once all ingredients are layered, fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring everything is securely tucked in. Aim for a tight roll, but avoid overstuffing to prevent tearing.

                      Heat the Burritos (Optional): If you prefer a warm and slightly crispy burrito, place the rolled burritos seam-side down in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden.

                        Serve: Remove from heat, and slice in half if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing. Enjoy with additional salsa or guacamole if you like!
