Ingredients

1 can
(15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
2 green onions, chopped
1 Tablespoon
lemon juice
1⁄4 teaspoon
ground cumin
1⁄2 teaspoon
salt, divided in half
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1⁄4 teaspoon
chili powder
1⁄4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1⁄2 cup
shredded cheese, grated (try cheddar, pepper jack, or Mexican blend)
4 (9 inch) flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine the beans, green onions, lemon juice, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl.
  3. Rub the chicken breasts with the chili powder, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat (350 degrees in an electric skillet) for 5 minutes. Turn and cook until done, 4-5 minutes longer.

  6. Divide cheese evenly between tortillas. Top the cheese with equal amounts of chicken and black bean salsa mixture.
  7. Roll up the burritos and wrap each one in foil.
