=== Ingredients ===
==== The Core ====
* '''4''' Large Whole Wheat Tortillas
* '''1 lb''' Chicken Breast (diced small)
* '''1 can (15oz)''' Cannellini Beans (Rinsed)
* '''½''' Onion (diced)
* '''1''' Green Bell Pepper (diced)
* '''1 stalk''' Celery (diced)

==== The "Bayou Heat" Blend ====
* '''1 tbsp''' Smoked Paprika
* '''1 tbsp''' Garlic Powder
* '''1 tbsp''' Onion Powder
* '''1 tsp''' Dried Thyme
* '''1 tsp''' Dried Oregano
* '''1 tsp''' Black Pepper
* '''½ - 1 tsp''' Cayenne Pepper (Adjust for heat)

=== Instructions ===
# '''The Spice Blend:''' Mix all dry spices (Paprika, Garlic, Onion, Thyme, Oregano, Black Pepper, Cayenne) in a small cup. This is your blackening seasoning.
# '''The "Savory Glue":''' Rinse the Cannellini beans and place them in a bowl. Add '''half''' of your spice blend to the beans. Mash thoroughly with a fork until it forms a thick, spicy paste. (''This paste is what prevents the wrap from dripping'').
# '''The High-Heat Sear:''' Heat a skillet with a little oil. Toss in the chicken chunks and the '''remaining half''' of the spice blend. Cook for 2-3 minutes to sear. Add the onion, green pepper, and celery. Sauté until veggies are soft.
#: '''''Important:''' Cook until the pan is dry and liquid has evaporated.''
# '''Combine & Roll:''' Dump the hot chicken mixture directly into the bowl with the mashed beans. Stir to combine into a thick filling. Spoon onto tortillas, roll tightly, and wrap in foil.

'''🚛 Driver's Notes'''
* '''Heating:''' Place foil-wrapped burrito on the dash (defrost vent) or in a 12v warmer for 20 mins. If using a microwave, remove foil and wrap in a paper towel.
* '''Eating:''' Peel the foil down like a banana. The bean binder prevents the chicken from falling out while shifting.
