To taste, not counted: ground cumin and a pinch of chili powder; salt and a squeeze of lime; salsa, to serve. They add a few calories at most.

Method

Warm the chicken, rice, and beans together in a pan with the cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt for 3 to 4 minutes, until hot.
Warm the tortillas for a few seconds in a dry pan or the microwave so they fold without cracking.
Spoon half the filling down the middle of each tortilla, add a squeeze of lime, and top with half the cheddar.
Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Toast the burritos seam side down in the dry pan for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden. Cut in half and serve with salsa.

Make ahead and store: Let the burritos cool, then wrap each one in foil. Reheat in a dry pan or the oven. Refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking and eat within 3 to 4 days. Reheat until steaming hot all the way through, 74 °C (165 °F).

How the calories add up

The two tortillas are 441 of the 1,019 calories. An 8-inch tortilla instead of a 10-inch one saves about 70 calories per burrito, but holds less filling.
Each burrito has about 37 g of protein, 23 g of it from the chicken.
Salsa adds only a few calories. Sour cream or guacamole would add more; enter them in the recipe calculator if you use them.
