BLACK BEAN CHICKEN BURRITOS

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

Steps:

In a large nonstick skillet, cook chicken over medium-high heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 4-6 minutes; drain and remove from skillet., In the same skillet, saute peppers and onion in oil until lightly browned and crisp-tender, 2-4 minutes.
