Chicken-Goat Cheese Burritos Recipe

Chicken-Goat Cheese Burritos Recipe

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 (10 inch) reduced-fat or regular flour tortillas
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans
  • 1 teaspoon salad oil
  • 1/2 cup soft fresh goat cheese, broken into small chunks
  • 1 1/2 cups prepared fresh green salsa (mild or hot)
  1. Cut chicken into 1/2- by 3-inch strips. Put chicken pieces in a bowl and coat evenly with cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Seal tortillas in foil and warm in a 350 degrees oven until hot, about 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place beans and their liquid in a 1-quart pan and cook over medium-high heat until bubbling, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, stir chicken and oil frequently until meat is no longer pink in center, about 6 minutes.
  5. Lay tortillas flat. Toward 1 edge, fill each with 1/4 of the chicken, beans (including most of liquid), and cheese, and 2 tablespoons of the salsa. Fold over sides and roll up tightly to enclose. Add more salsa to taste.
