Chicken Burritos With Cheese and Black Bean Salsa image

Adapted from a recipe at the Newman's Own site. This one's a quickie but goodie, handy when you have to eat in a rush! Instead of grilling, you can broil the chicken; as an alternative, you can also cut it into strips BEFORE cooking and dry-sauté the strips in a nonstick spray-coated pan.

Tips:

  • When choosing chicken, opt for boneless, skinless breasts or thighs for a leaner option. For a more flavorful filling, use dark meat chicken such as drumsticks or thighs. You can also use leftover cooked chicken.
  • Use a variety of salsas to create different flavor profiles. For a mild salsa, use a tomato-based salsa. For a medium salsa, use a salsa verde or a tomatillo salsa. For a hot salsa, use a habanero or a ghost pepper salsa.
  • If you don't have any salsa on hand, you can make your own by combining diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice. You can also add other ingredients such as jalapeños, garlic, or cumin to taste.
  • To make the burritos, start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Add the salsa and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • To assemble the burritos, place a large tortilla on a flat surface. Add some of the chicken mixture, rice, beans, and cheese. Fold the tortilla up, starting with the bottom edge, and continue folding until the burrito is tightly sealed.
  • Serve the burritos immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for later. You can also freeze the burritos for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Salsa chicken burritos are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a variety of salsas to choose from, you can create burritos that are mild, medium, or hot, depending on your preference. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give salsa chicken burritos a try!
