Recipe Introduction

Although boneless chicken breasts can be pricey, this recipe uses just two for six hungry eaters. The corn, beans, and cheese help stretch the meal. Serves: 6

List of Ingredients

1/8 teaspoon black pepper
12 8-inch flour tortillas
2 green onions, sliced
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1/2 pound total)
1 can (10 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/4 cups mild or medium salsa
1 cup cooked rice (1/3 cup raw)
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup frozen kernel corn, thawed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt




Recipe

1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from water and let cool.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Cut cooled chicken into small pieces. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, beans, 1/2 cup of the salsa, rice, 1/2 cup of the cheese, corn, chili powder, salt and pepper; mix well. Spread about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture
across center of each tortilla; roll up. Arrange burritos in baking dish; spread remaining 3/4 cup of the salsa over top. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven; uncover and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of the cheese on top.

4. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Bake, uncovered, 10 minutes longer. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
