8 soft flour tortillas (round, 10 inch work great)
3 cups cooked rice, warm, not hot
3 cups iceberg lettuce, mixed salad greens, arugula or cabbage, shredded
1 cup roasted corn kernals (if frozen, defrost and drain)
1 cup black beans (if canned- rinsed and drained)
3 medium tomatoes, diced
1/5 red onion, rough chop
1/5 shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Heat oil in the skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and saute for 1 minute. Add minced garlic and diced jalapeno.
Add beef to skillet. Spread meat around with tongs or wooden spoon to break meat apart and to incorporate onions, garlic and jalapeno.
Add Burrito Spice Blend, cook one minute. Add tomato sauce and water and continue to cook until water is evaporated but meat is still moist, approximately 1- 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. If the meat mixture is too hot, the wrap will become too soggy.

Line up the Burrito Fixings assembly line style.
Slightly warm the tortilla in a pan or microwave oven. Do not toast or cook it. Place a tortilla on a clean work surface directly in front of you.
Spread out 1/4-1/3 cup of ricein a side to side line slightly below the center of burrito, leaving approximately a 2 inch margin on both the right and left side.
Place 1/4-1/3 cup of the meat mixture on top of the rice, spread out in a similar fashion. Top with some lettuce,corn, black beans, tomato, red onion, avocado and chesse- all spread out in a similar line. Do not overfill.
Fold the bottom of the tortilla upwards to cover the Burrito Fixings. Pull covered fillings towards you tight and tuck tortilla end under the filling.
Fold in side edges then continue to roll tightly. Take a big bite and enjoy!
If wrapping the burrito for consumption later, place burrito on a square of aluminum foil, seam side down and wrap tightly. To reheat preheat oven to 350°, bake the burrito for approximately 15- 20 minutes, until well heated.
