Chicken and Black Bean Burritos

These simple burritos are full of hearty ingredients tucked inside a soft-crispy tortilla.  They are a fun spin on regular soft burritos or wraps.  You can serve them either warm or cold, whatever strikes your fancy.  If you want to serve them warm, simply warm the filling in the microwave before filling the tortillas, as cooking them in the pan will  not heat them all the way through.


Chicken and Black Bean Burritos


1 cup cooked rice
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 small can sliced olives
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 to 1/2 cup salsa
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheese (cheddar, monteray jack, colby jack)
6 Tablespoons sour cream
6 burrito size flour tortillas


In a large bowl, combine the rice, shredded chicken, black beans, olives, chili powder, salt, and salsa.  Stir together until well combined.  Warm the chicken mixture gently in the microwave until it is heated through.  Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of sour cream.  Sprinkle cheese over the sour cream, then spoon the chicken  mixture down the center of each tortilla.  Roll up each tortilla, tucking in the ends.  


Place 2 burritos in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium-high heat.  Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.  Makes 6 burritos.
