Recipe video above. This is a chicken burrito stuffed with a juicy seasoned chicken filling, refried beans, corn, cheese and Mexican Red Rice. The refried beans makes it juicy inside without being soggy, adds flavour and holds it all together so the filling doesn't come tumbling out when you pick it up!
