Chicken & Black Bean Burrito

CHICKEN & BLACK BEAN BURRITO

This can be such a simple, quick, small meal & yet it is super healthy for ya.

Grab a whole wheat tortilla (I prefer La Tortilla from Costco - 80 cal 12g fiber) Put about 1/4 cup low fat black beans or refried black beans in a microwaveable safe dish and cook until warm - put onto tortilla.

I love to use rotisserie chicken or you can get chicken already cooked & sliced (I found mine at Costco) Heat about 4 0z of chicken with a tiny bit of taco seasoning and add it onto the tortilla.

Sometimes I'll sprinkle a little cheese on top, most the time I don't just because I think it tastes great already.

Add spinach, & wrap it all up!

Approximately only 250 calories w/o cheese

Couldn't wait to share this delicious dinner idea with you! After my husband ate it the other night he told me it was the closest he's had to the taste of an authentic Mexican taco since we went last year!

What makes this recipe even better is that there is almost NO COOKING involved!

What you'll need:

Stone ground corn tortillas

A rotisserie chicken

Tomatillo salsa (salsa verde)

Feta cheese

Onion

Cilantro

Fresh limes

When we have meals like this we call it 'taco bar night' because we just lay out all the ingredients & everyone builds their own tacos.

So try it out...

Shred the rotisserie chicken (make sure to remove the skin first to save on unnecessary calories & fat)

Chop up the onion & cilantro

Slice the limes into wedges

I like the tortillas to be a little crispy so I brush a little olive oil on each side and put them on a skillet until they've reached my desired crispiness.

Build your own taco however you like it, and go ahead and have (2).

The way I like mine:

Tortilla

Chicken

tomatillo salsa

onion

cilantro

feta cheese

top it off with a squeeze of lime

DELICIOSO!

*Like sour cream? Try plain greek yogurt instead! You won't even notice a difference but your body will thank you for it!
