Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup cooked rice (preferably seasoned)

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

4 large flour tortillas

4 large eggs

1 cup salsa

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, seasoned cooked rice, rinsed black beans, and corn. Add in the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly integrated.

      Incorporate Cheese: Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the chicken mixture until well distributed. Set the remaining cheese aside for later.

        Assemble the Burritos: Take a flour tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling along the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas until all the filling is used.

          Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Carefully place the burritos seam-side down in the dish.

            Mix the Egg and Salsa: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs with the salsa until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Pour this egg and salsa mixture evenly over the burritos in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated.

              Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the burritos, creating an appealing layer that will melt beautifully during baking.

                Bake the Burritos: Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a vibrant touch and serve warm with sour cream on the side, if desired.

                      - Presentation Tips: For an inviting display, serve the burrito bakes on a large platter with extra salsa and a small bowl of sour cream on the side, garnished with cilantro for added freshness.
