Burrito
A classic Mexican favorite, the burrito brings together seasoned chicken, fluffy rice, hearty black beans, and melted cheddar wrapped snugly in a soft flour tortilla. Sautéed peppers and zesty salsa add vibrancy and moisture to every bite. It is the ultimate comforting meal for a satisfying lunch or weeknight dinner.
