Recipe video above. This is a chicken burrito stuffed with a juicy seasoned chicken filling, refried beans, corn, cheese, and Mexican Red Rice. The refried beans make it juicy inside without being soggy, add flavor and hold it all together so the filling doesn’t come tumbling out when you pick it up!
