This is yet another of my family’s favorite healthy recipes!
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp Canola oil
- 1 lg. can fat free refried beans or black beans
- 2 breasts of chicken, boneless
- Salsa; 1 jar (I prefer fresh and you can even find it ready made in the deli section of the supermarket)
- 1 large tomato, diced
- Lettuce, cut
- Green onions, diced
- Sour cream
- Cheese, grated Cheddar or white cheese
- Whole wheat tortillas (they will have no idea these are whole wheat once they’re topped with cheese!)
- Taco seasoning
Sprinkle chicken with taco seasoning. Spray pan with cooking spray and fry chicken in pan. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Spread beans on a tortilla. Place chicken and salsa on tortilla and roll up. Put into rectangular Pyrex. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
Place in 350 degree oven or microwave until cheese is melted and the burritos “bubbly”.
Top each burrito with tomatoes, onion, lettuce and sour cream and serve.
Recipe yields 6-8 servings
