Ingredients
Scale
For the Burritos:
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
- 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- juice of 1 lime
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, avocado, corn, black beans, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss until well mixed. Lay tortillas flat and sprinkle a little cheese down the center of each. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the cheese.
