Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
6 chicken breast tenders
1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup instant rice
1 cup water
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic salt
8 extra-large flour tortillas
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 tablespoon softened butter, or as needed
