Mix the Rice and Beans: Heating the beans and mixing them with the rice creates a hearty, flavorful base that holds up well in the tortilla.
Layer Strategically: Start with the rice and bean mixture, then add salmon, fresh vegetables, guacamole and finally a drizzle of Sriracha. This ensures every bite is balanced and flavorful.
Warm the Tortilla: A quick microwave warm-up makes the tortilla pliable and easier to wrap, preventing it from tearing.
