Ok, so this blog isn’t turning into a cooking…

I know I am mentioning cooking a lot but I have an update!

Today, my husband is home from touring and I wanted to make him lunch. He mentioned that we should go to Chipotle. I suggested I try whipping up something since I have these groceries now! I knew I could probably find a recipe for burritos and save the money.
I found this recipe at Tasty Kitchen:


Recipe

Chicken and Black Bean Burritos

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 can Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
  • 1 tsp Fajita Seasoning (as much as you need to cover one side of chicken breast – added by me)
  • 1 cup Salsa
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ⅓ cups Water
  • 6 whole Burrito-size Tortillas
  • 1-½ cup Cheese
  • Sour Cream (added by me)
  • Fresh Tomatoes for garnish (added by me)

Preparation Instructions:
Place chicken breast in pan; pour 1/2 cup salsa over each breast. Cover and cook approximately 15 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from pan and chop into small pieces or shred with two forks.

Add chicken back to pan, add black beans, seasonings (to taste), and water.
Simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes.

Roll filling and cheese, sour cream and tomatoes into tortillas.


Modification:
I did make a change, instead of pouring salsa on top of the chicken breasts as they cooked, I coated one side with fajita seasoning and added the salsa when I added the other ingredients. I also added sour cream and tomatoes to the burritos, if I had lettuce I would have put some of that too!

It was really tasty and pretty easy to make!


  1. I’m going to make it next week! Sounds good!
