Chicken and Black Bean Burritos

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 15 oz can corn, drained
1/2 yellow or white onion, chopped
1 cup salsa
1 tsp garlic powder
1 box Spanish Rice
Tortillas - 8 burrito sized
Optional - 1 cup shredded cheese and/or sour cream

Cook the rice according to the package. Meanwhile, add the first 6 ingredients together in a medium saucepan and cook on medium low heat. This mixture needs to simmer for 15-20 minutes. You may choose to add rice to the burrito before putting in the chicken mixture or you may decide to serve it as a side dish. It is delicious both ways!
