Black Bean Chicken Burritos image

I try to hide as many veggies as possible in these burritos. Another way I bump up the nutrition level is by using thinly sliced cabbage instead of regular iceberg lettuce. The filling freezes well, so double the recipe! -Jeni Pittard, Statham, Georgia

These burritos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more salsa or guacamole. The chicken was also a little dry. I think I would have cooked it for a little less time next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the burritos turned out great! The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more spice. I think a teaspoon of chili powder or cumin would really enhance the flavor.
