We ate this with THIS chicken, and it was soooo good!!  The recipe makes a ton, so we will half it next time for our little family.  The flavor is great, it would be good with any sort of asian meat dish.

1 cup white rice, cooked
1 small tomato, diced
1 cup black beans
3/4 cup frozen sweet corn
1 cup diced, cooked chicken
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
BBQ sauce

Combine ingredients in a bowl.  Add bbq sauce to make desired saucy consistency.  Place spoonful of mixture onto a tortilla.  Add extra cheese.  Roll up tightly, tucking ends in.  Repeat with remaining tortillas.  Brush with butter.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.  Move to top rack and broil until tops are brown, watching carefully to avoid burning.
