# How to Make It:

03 - Shred lettuce, dice tomato, and finely chop red onion. Set aside.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 to 15 seconds until pliable.
05 - Place a tortilla flat. Spoon ¼ cup cooked rice down the center. Add ¼ of the beans, 2 tablespoons corn if using, lettuce, tomato, onion, 3 tablespoons salsa, cheese, and cilantro as desired.
06 - Fold in sides and roll tightly from bottom up to enclose fillings. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
07 - Enjoy immediately or wrap tightly in foil for a portable meal.
