Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and gently sauté the onion until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the chipotle paste and chicken, and heat through.

  2. 2

    Heat the cooked rice according to the package instructions and warm the red beans in their brine in a small pot. Drain the beans and mix the rice with half the lime juice and half the coriander.

  3. 3

    Combine the remaining coriander and lime juice with the avocado, mash well, and season.

  4. 4

    Warm each tortilla individually in a dry pan, or microwave for 5‑10 seconds.

  5. 5

    Distribute the rice and beans onto the warmed tortillas, placing the mixture in the center of each. Top with chicken, then a spoonful of avocado, salsa, cheddar and sour cream if using. Do not overfill the tortillas, otherwise they will be hard to fold.

  6. 6

    Fold the two ends of each tortilla over the filling, then gently roll and tuck the ends underneath, forming a thick sausage shape with folds at the bottom. Keep the prepared tortillas warm in a low oven while you finish the others. Slice diagonally in half before serving.
