Most chicken burrito recipes are made with flour tortillas. This one uses corn tortillas, and it's crispy, like a taquito or flauta. But unlike a taquito or flauta, these chicken burritos aren't fried; they're baked. The beans in this recipe are a true super food -- they're packed with fiber, protein, calcium and iron.
Chicken Burritos with Black Beans
- 1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken breast
- 1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 8 corn tortillas
- nonstick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large cookie sheet generously with nonstick cooking spray. Coat it well enough to see a thin layer of oil. In a medium mixing bowl, combine black beans, chicken, cheese and spices. Divide mixture evenly among tortillas. Roll tortillas around filling and hold together with toothpicks.
Place on prepared cookie sheet. Spray tops of burritos generously with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 6 minutes. Turn burritos over and bake another 6-8 minutes, until golden. Remove toothpicks and serve.
Serves 4.
