Chicken Burrito

I remember when this style burrito which is called a wet burrito was becoming really popular in San Francisco. It's a regular burrito covered in enchilada sauce and cheese and put under the broiler until the cheese melts. The combination is awesome and if you've never had a wet burrito, do so soon!

Ingredients:
Flour tortilla's from Trader Joe's. No bad oils!
1 diced chicken breast
1 can black beans
1 cup cooked Rice or Mexican rice
1/4 cup Monterrey Jack cheese
1/2 bunch diced green onions 
1/4 bunch chopped cilantro
1 medium tomato
Sour cream

Preparation:
When I make burrito's, I toss everything into a medium sauce pan to make the filling. I start with black beans, heat them up and give them a quick smash to make them thick. Next, add the chicken, rice, cheese, green onions, cilantro and tomato. Mix all the ingredients and heat to to serving temperature.

Take a 1 gallon Ziploc bag and put in 1 tortilla. Place into the microwave for 15 seconds. Remove the tortilla to a plate and place about 1-1/2 cups burrito filling. Add some sour cream and roll up into the burrito shape. Spoon on some enchilada sauce and top with more cheese and place under the broiler for about a minute until the cheese melts. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a couple lime wedges.
