1

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium to high heat.

2

Add 1 small diced onion and the shredded meat from 1 small rotisserie chicken to the pan.

3

Stir in 2 tablespoons of fajita spice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

4

Fry for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often until the chicken is hot and the onion starts to soften.

5

Move the chicken to one side of the pan and add a 400 g (14 oz) tin of beans in chili sauce to the other side.

6

Heat the beans for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often and squishing the beans with the back of a spoon as they heat through.

7

Stir the chicken occasionally to prevent burning while the chicken and beans are cooking.

8

Heat a pack of microwave rice in the microwave according to package instructions.

9

Place a warm tortilla on a large piece of foil.

10

Load the burrito starting with a good spoonful of the Mexican rice, followed by the spicy chicken, and then a good spoonful of the chili beans.

11

Add your favorite toppings: grated cheese, pickled jalapenos, finely chopped coriander, salsa, and sour cream.

12

Top with a couple of lettuce leaves to keep everything together when rolling up the burrito.

13

Roll the burrito up tightly, tucking in the ends as you go, and wrap it in the foil, twisting at the ends.

14

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
