Thinly slice bell peppers and onion. Set out all filling ingredients for easy assembly.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until edges brown. Add bell peppers and onions, cooking for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender yet slightly crisp.
04 -
Heat tortillas briefly until pliable, either in a microwave or on a dry skillet.
05 -
Place warm tortilla flat and layer 1/4 cup cooked rice, 1/2 cup chicken and vegetable mixture, 1/4 cup black beans, corn, shredded cheese, and green onions. Top with sour cream and ranch dressing to taste.
06 -

For crispy burritos, heat a clean skillet over medium heat and cook seam side down for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
# Helpful Hints:

Marinating the chicken enhances depth of flavor. Warming tortillas prevents cracking and ensures easier rolling.
