We are big fans of burritos. The kids and I also love black beans. So of course, we would have to make chicken and black bean burritos. What I love most about this recipe, besides that it is delicious, is that it makes a lot. In fact it makes about 15 burritos which allows me to freeze most of them for later meals.

Ingredients
  • Tortilla wraps
  • 15.5 oz salsa
  • 8 oz shredded Mexican blend or cheddar cheese
  • 2 cans of black beans
  • 2.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breast

  • Aluminum foil

  2. Cook on LOW overnight or for 8-10 hours (check chicken at 8 hours for doneness).

  5. Pour into a bowl and repeat with remaining chicken breast.
  6. Add the black beans, shredded cheese, and salsa to the chicken breast and mix thoroughly.

To store in freezer:
  1. Tear off a piece of aluminum foil big enough for the tortilla wrap.
  2. Place tortilla wrap on the middle of the aluminum foil sheet.
  3. Scoop out about 1/2-3/4 cup of the chicken and black bean mixture and place on the lower middle of the tortilla.
  4. Fold the sides and bottom of the tortilla in and roll from the bottom up.
  5. Fold the aluminum foil sheet over the burrito and roll up.
  6. Tighten and fold the sides of the aluminum foil sheet under the burrito.
  7. Place in a zip top freezer bag.
  8. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
To enjoy:
  1. Thaw on the counter.
  2. Heat in toaster oven or regular oven.
  3. Or remove aluminum foil and microwave until thawed and thoroughly heated.
Tips:
  1. To make the burritos gluten free make sure the taco seasoning is gluten free and use gluten free tortillas.
  2. White or whole wheat tortillas can be used.

These burritos freeze very well and can be stored for up to 2-3 months (although ours barely last 2 months).

One of our favorite ways to enjoy chicken and black bean burritos is to toast them in the toaster oven and then smoother them in queso. So good!

Have a great day!
