BLACK BEAN CHICKEN BURRITOS
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

DINNER, WRAPPED UP (BLACK BEAN, CHICKEN, AND CHORIZO BURRITOS)
Steps:
- Heat a medium-size saucepan with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat with about 1 tablespoon of the oil, once around the pan. Add one fourth of the chopped onion and season with salt and pepper, then cook for 1 minute. Add the rice, stir to coat in the oil, then add 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock and bring up to a simmer. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium low, and cook the rice for 15 to 17 minutes, until tender.
- While the rice is cooking, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chorizo and cook for 2 minutes. Add the remaining chopped onion, the garlic, cumin, coriander, and a little salt and pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the onions start to get tender. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Halve the avocado, remove the pit with a spoon, and then carefully scoop out the flesh. Cut the two halves into small bite-size pieces and transfer to a bowl. Add the halved tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper, and mix to combine.
- Add the remaining cup of chicken stock to the skillet with the chorizo and chicken and bring it up to a bubble. Once it is simmering, add the black beans and continue to cook until the liquids are just barely visible and the beans are heated through, a couple of minutes.
- Heat a large dry skillet over high heat to blister the tortillas. Have a clean kitchen towel nearby to wrap the tortillas and keep them warm. Once the skillet is hot, add a tortilla and heat for about 30 seconds on each side, remove from the skillet, and wrap it in the towel. Continue until all the tortillas have been heated. If you have a gas stove, you can blister them directly over the flame itself.
- Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork. To assemble a burrito, scatter a small handful of cheese, about 1/4 cup, across the center of a tortilla. Top with a couple of generous kitchen spoonfuls, about 3/4 cup, of cooked rice. The rice will catch the juices from the couple of kitchen spoonfuls of black beans, chicken, and chorizo that come next! Dot the mound of fillings with some salsa and sour cream, if you like. Tuck the sides in, then wrap and roll. Cut in half and serve. Repeat to form up to 8 wraps.

Tips:
- Prep the ingredients: Dice the chicken, chop the vegetables, and rinse the black beans before starting to cook.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through before adding it to the burritos. You can check this by using a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your burritos taste much better than store-bought ones. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can warm up store-bought tortillas in a skillet or microwave before using them.
- Don't overfill the burritos: If you overfill the burritos, they will be difficult to fold and eat. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per burrito.
- Fold the burritos tightly: To prevent the burritos from falling apart, fold them tightly. You can use a toothpick or skewer to secure the burritos if needed.
- Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for black bean chicken burritos include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
Conclusion:
Black bean chicken burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these black bean chicken burritos a try!
