refried beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Black beans are more nutritious, while canned beans can be a budget-friendly option.

cooked meat

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Grilled chicken is leaner, while ground beef can be more affordable.

Prepare pico de gallo by chopping onions, cilantro, tomatoes, and jalapeno peppers, mixing them together.

Heat a little oil in a skillet to coat the bottom.

Add cubed chicken to the skillet and season with garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, garlic chili powder, and chives.

Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes until it turns from translucent to white, ensuring it remains moist.

Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet without washing it out, leaving the juices.

Add steak to the same skillet with the remaining oil and juices.

Cook the steak until browned, mixing in the remaining juices from the chicken.

Prepare the burrito by laying out a flour tortilla and spreading a layer of refried beans on it.

Add cooked chicken, steak, cheese, pico de gallo, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and chopped lettuce on top of the beans.

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it up tightly from the bottom.

Place the rolled burrito back in the skillet to brown it on all sides, ensuring it gets crispy.

Serve the burrito with additional salsa and guacamole on the side.
