Ingredients:

* Chicken:

* 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

* 1 tablespoon olive oil

* 1 teaspoon chili powder

* 1/2 teaspoon cumin

* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

* Salt and pepper to taste

* Rice:

* 1 cup long-grain rice

* 2 cups water

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* Beans:

* 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

* Salsa:

* 1 cup your favorite salsa (mild, medium, or hot)

* Other fillings (optional):

* 1/2 cup chopped red onion

* 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

* 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

* 1/4 cup sour cream

* 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

* 1 avocado, diced

* Hot sauce to taste

* Tortillas:

* 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions:

1. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink (about 10-15 minutes).

2. Cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

3. Assemble the burritos: Warm tortillas in a microwave or skillet for a few seconds. Spread a layer of cooked rice on each tortilla. Top with chicken, black beans, salsa, and any other desired fillings. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up and then fold the sides in. Roll the burrito tightly from the bottom up.

4. Enjoy: Serve immediately, with a side of salsa or sour cream.

Tips:

* Prep ahead: You can cook the chicken and rice ahead of time to save time later.

* Customize: Feel free to add your own favorite fillings to the burritos, such as corn, lettuce, or other vegetables.

* Make it vegetarian: Replace the chicken with seasoned tofu or beans for a vegetarian option.

* Serving suggestions: Serve burritos with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and pico de gallo.
