Chicken & Black Bean Burritos

INGREDIENTS:

1 {15 oz} Can Black Beans, Drained & Rinsed

4 Green Onions, Chopped

1 Tablespoon Lemon or Lime Juice

1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder

{use less chili powder if you aren't wanting a little kick in your burrito}

1/4 teaspoon Ground Pepper

2 Seasoned Chicken Breasts, Baked & Sliced

1/2 Lb. Pepper Jack Cheese, Grated

{this cheese also adds a kick...so use another white cheese (monterey or colby?) if you don't want heat}

6 Medium-sized Tortillas


DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 350*.

In a small bowl combine black beans, green onions, lemon or lime juice,

and all of the above spices.

Set out 6 squares of foil and lay a tortilla on each.


Put 1/6th of the cheese in a line near the edge of the tortilla.


Top with 1/6th of the chicken and 1/6th of the black bean mixture.


Roll up the burrito, making sure to tuck in the ends, and wrap in foil.


Bake 15-20 minutes, enough for the cheese to melt.


Top with sour cream, salsa, lettuce and tomatoes. {If you want...}


{Or you can enjoy them just the way they are...we put something different on them every time we have them. You could use any other mexican toppings that you desire too!}

{I must give credit where credit is due...this recipe came from on of my college roommates...Cindi! Thanks!}
