Preparation of the Filling

1. Begin by cooking your choice of protein; either chicken or beef works beautifully. Aim for about 50-100 grams per serving. 2. Cook rice (50-100 grams per serving) separately, aiming for a fluffy texture. 3. Prepare beans (either black or pinto) by cooking them until they are tender - about 50-100 grams per serving. 4. Slice lettuce and tomato for fresh crunch in each bite. 5. Grate cheese (about 20-30 grams per serving) and have sour cream (15-30 grams) and salsa (30-50 grams) ready for extra flavor.

Assembling the Burrito

1. Take a single flour tortilla and place it on a clean flat surface. 2. Start by laying down a base of lettuce on the tortilla. 3. Add your cooked protein, rice, and beans in layers. 4. Top with fresh tomato, grated cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a generous helping of salsa. 5. Carefully fold the tortilla around the filling, tucking in the sides to ensure it stays wrapped. 6. Optionally, you can lightly grill the burrito on a pan to get a crispy outer layer.
