Spicy Instant Chicken and Rice Burrito Bowl

1.In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked rice, black beans, salsa, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and salsa.

2.Cover the bowl loosely with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.

3.Microwave the mixture on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through and steaming hot. Stir halfway through heating to ensure even warming.

4.While the filling heats, warm the flour tortilla by placing it on a microwave-safe plate and microwaving for 15-20 seconds until soft and pliable.

5.Remove the filling from the microwave and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

6.Place the warmed tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon the hot chicken and rice mixture onto the center of the tortilla.

7.Top the filling with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro if using.

8.Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito bowl style wrap.

9.If desired, lightly brush the outside of the tortilla with olive oil or spray with cooking spray, then microwave the wrapped burrito for an additional 15 seconds to set the shape and warm the outside.

10.Serve immediately for a quick, satisfying meal.
