1 lg. can chicken breast or
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 cup salsa (your favorite kind)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 can black, pinto, or red beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
1 cup shredded, low-fat cheddar cheese
8-9 inch whole wheat tortillas
Optional toppings:
Lite Sour Cream
Shredded Lettuce
Diced tomatoes
Sliced avocado
Sliced olives
Salsa
Combine chicken, salsa, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, and beans (if used) in a large skillet. Bring to a simmer. Let simmer until most of the liquid from the salsa has cooked out. Sprinkle some of the cheese down the center of each tortilla. Spread the chicken mixture on top of the cheese. Roll each tortilla up burrito style (fold the sides in first, then roll from bottom to top). If desired, brush each burrito with a little EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and bake in a 375 degree oven until golden brown. Serve hot with desired toppings.
My family LOVES these burritos! They're super fast (especially if you use canned chicken) and super easy (even my husband can make them) and super healthy. The added beans really make the filling stretch to feed a large family like mine (5 growing kids) and add an extra boost of protein and good fiber. Hope you all love them as much as we do!
