Honey-Bean Burrito Bake with Chicken layers tender tortillas with black and garbanzo beans, sweet corn, peppers, and juicy shredded chicken, all tied together by a lightly sweet-tangy honey mustard sauce. Melty mozzarella and Cheddar form a bubbly, golden top that contrasts the creamy filling and warm spices. It’s a comforting casserole ideal for family dinners, potlucks, or game-day spreads.

1

Cook the yellow rice as the package directs; set aside 1 1/2 cups. Refrigerate any extra rice for another use.
2

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
3

Line the bottom of the baking dish with 4 tortillas. For the honey sauce, whisk the mustard, sour cream, and 1/3 cup honey in a small bowl. In a large bowl, combine the red pepper, green pepper, garbanzo beans, black beans, and corn. Scoop out 1/2 cup of this bean mixture and set it aside for topping.
4

Stir the chicken, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, cumin, yellow rice, and honey sauce into the bean mixture. Mix thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Top with 4 tortillas; sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, and the reserved 1/2 cup bean mixture.
5

Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 30 to 45 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if the top browns too much. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey.
