# Instructions:
01 -
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken, salsa, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder and salt. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through.

In a small saucepan, combine black beans, salsa, chili powder, and cumin. Simmer for 10 minutes, then set aside.
03 -
In a medium bowl, combine hot cooked rice with melted butter, lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt to taste and set aside.
04 -
Heat and lightly grease a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread shredded cheese in the middle of each tortilla, about 1 1/2 inches in from the edge. Layer chicken, rice, additional cheese, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo and sour cream horizontally on the bottom 2/3 of the tortilla.
05 -
Fold in the sides of each tortilla first, then fold the bottom edge over the fillings, keeping ingredients tucked in as you roll. Lightly spray each burrito with cooking spray and place seam-side down in the heated skillet. Grill for 3-4 minutes or until lightly toasted, then flip and cook the second side until heated through.

Cut each burrito in half and serve with optional hot sauces, additional salsa, guacamole, and chips if desired.
