Equipment
- Frying pan
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
- 3 cups brown rice cooked
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 15 ounces sweet corn drained
- 15 ounces black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 Tablespoon cumin
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- 8 whole wheat tortillas
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- First add oil chopped onion to the pan and cook on the stove top until soft and a little brown.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan and cook until heated through and cilantro is wilted.
- Then put the mixture on a whole wheat tortilla. If making into a freezer meal wrap up now, if a meal add toppings.
- Here are some of our favorite toppings - light sour cream, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce or spinach, sliced olives, spouts, and diced avocado.
- If you use large tortillas, you can make about 8 good-sized burritos. You can serve them hot or wrap each burrito individually in foil and stick in the freezer. I love to double this recipe and freeze them so my husband can take some to school and cook them in the microwave for lunch.
