How I made this. I cooked the chicken from frozen (I am a bad planner) in my instant pot with a little garlic and paprika, and a little water.

When the chicken was done - I shredded it, then I poured the water and rice in a deep pan, added the black beans and tomatoes, plus the chicken. And cook according to directions.

After that, I put a big spoonful of the mixture in a tortilla with shredded cheese, and saved the sour cream for the side. If you heat sour cream it can be a bit weird if you have to reheat it. And then spray a pan with cooking spray and fold both ends in when making the pocket and heat them in the pan so that they get lightly brown on both sides and have a little crunch.

These were very tasty. Only thing I wish is that it had a bit more spice. I advise putting some paprika, or cayenne on the mix before putting it in the tortilla. 

This also made enough for dinner (for 3 people) plus lunch for two days.
