Instructions
Burrito Filling
Combine the water, salsa and garlic powder in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
Add the rice and stir until combined. Turn off the the heat, but keep the pot on the burner. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. (Stir halfway through).
After 5 minutes, check the consistency of the rice. If it is soft and tender, it is done. If not, cover and continue to let sit for another 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the burner. Add the black beans, shredded chicken and cheese. Mix until combined.
Assemble the Burritos
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray an 13x9 inch baking pan lightly with non stick pan spray.
Warm the tortillas by placing on a plate in between 2 lightly dampened paper towels. Heat in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
Place the burrito filling in the center of each tortilla, leaving about ½ inch of space from the edge.
Roll the burrito and place in the pan, seam side down.
Top with extra cheese if desired. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Serve warm.
