Chicken and black bean salsa burritos

Recipe Information

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed

• 2 green onions, chopped

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1/4 teaspoon cumin, ground

• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided in half

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground

• 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese, grated

• Four 9-inch flour tortillas

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.

• Combine the black beans, green onions, lemon juice, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl.

• Rub the chicken breasts with the chili powder, the black pepper, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

• Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat (350°F in an electric skillet) for 5 minutes. Turn and cook until done, 4-5 minutes longer.

• Let the chicken cool, then slice into strips or chunks.

• Divide the cheese evenly among the tortillas. Top the cheese with equal amounts of chicken and black bean salsa mixture.

• Roll up the burritos and wrap each one in foil.

• Bake the burritos until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

• Refrigerate the leftovers within 2-3 hours.
