Tips:
- Choose the right rice: Use a long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, for the best results. These types of rice cook up fluffy and separate, making them perfect for burritos.
- Cook the rice properly: Be sure to cook the rice according to the package directions. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and not hold its shape well in the burritos.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your burritos will taste. Use fresh chicken, vegetables, and cheese, and avoid using processed or pre-packaged ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overfill the burritos: It's important to not overfill the burritos, or they will be difficult to roll and eat. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per burrito.
- Warm the tortillas before assembling: Warming the tortillas before assembling the burritos will make them more pliable and less likely to crack or tear.
