Canned chicken is a budget-friendly protein option.

Start by making a special sauce with sour cream, avocado, lime juice, water, ranch seasoning mix, and cilantro. Mix until combined.

Warm a pan on the stove and add chopped onion, green pepper, and garlic. Cook until softened, about a few minutes.

Add shredded cooked chicken to the pan. The chicken was cooked in a crock pot with some chicken broth to keep it moist.

Add half a can of black beans, corn, chili seasoning, cumin, salt, and pepper to the chicken mixture. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Lay out the tortillas on a cutting board. Spread some of the sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.

Fill the tortillas with the chicken mixture and sprinkle a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.

Roll the tortillas tightly, leaving the sides open, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.

Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining tortillas.

Spread more sauce on top of the rolled burritos and sprinkle additional cheese on top.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Before serving, add more cheese and sauce on top, and serve with lime.
