Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 1 burrito, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups refried black beans
2 cups rice
3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups mild salsa
2 teaspoons canola oil
5 large flour tortillas

Steps:

  • You can dice the chicken after it's cooked, but I prefer to do it before hand. cut each breast into 1/2 inch strips (estimated) and then each strip into small cubes. Cook them on a skillet in the oil.
  • While the chicken cooks, warm up the beans in a small sauce pan, stir them constantly so they don't stick.
  • Once the chicken is cooked thoroughly, pull it and the beans off of the stove. This should take about 15 minutes on Medium if the chicken is in cubes already, but it varies from stove to stove.
  • If the tortillas you're using are homemade, skip this step, if they're store bought taco type shells, put them in the microwave for 15 seconds.
  • Make the burritos the same way you would make a taco, using the beans, rice, chicken, salsa, and any other toppings of your choosing.

My mother in law made these one night and they are great and fast. When you don't have time to cook. Kids can make the burrito by themselves. Add other ingredients that you like- we prefer it simple!
