  • ½ cup white rice, cooked, or brown rice
  • 2 medium limes, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add each of the tortillas to the skillet and heat them for about 1 minute per side. Remove the tortillas and begin assembling the chicken burritos.

Notes

  • Freezer Friendly: Prepare burritos and wrap each individually with parchment paper followed by plastic wrap or foil. Label each burrito with the contents and the date made. Place burritos into a large freezer bag and seal. Freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, microwave for 3 minutes (remove foil if wrapped in foil) or in the oven at 350º F for 25 minutes (remove plastic if wrapped in plastic wrap).
