1 (12 inch) flour tortilla
2 heaping tbsp. fat free cheddar cheese -- shredded
1/3 cup Spanish Rice -- see recipe here
1/3 cup pinto beans
1/3 cup chicken -- diced/skinless
1 tbsp. guacamole
1/4 cup iceberg lettuce -- shredded
1/4 cup tomato -- diced
pinch cilantro -- chopped
Spanish Rice:
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup converted rice -- not instant
1 cup tomato sauce
1 1/2 tbsp. onion -- finely minced
2 tsp. green bell pepper -- finely minced
2 tsp. red bell pepper -- finely minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder

To make burrito, steam the tortilla in a steamer, or in a moist towel in the microwave for 20 seconds on HIGH.
Build the burrito of your choice by arranging the ingredients across the center of a tortilla in the order listed. Leave room at each end for folding.
To fold, turn the left and right ends of the tortilla over the filling. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the
ingredients, then continue rolling the burrito up into a tight package.
For the Spanish Rice: Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over high heat.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the rice for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
