Chicken & Bean Burritos

I love chicken, and I love Mexican food....This recipe is simple and combines the two perfectly. I really like how easy this recipe is to cook, and that it mixes all of the ingredients together. Cooking the chicken with the beans really adds an amazing flavor, that you wouldn't necessarily get if you ate everything separate. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as Casey and I do!! And make sure to read the next post, I am doing a recipe for homemade taco seasoning. It adds such a great flavor, and I like it way better than store bought taco mix :)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

1 cup water

1 (1.5 ounce) package taco seasoning mix

1 (16 ounce) can refried beans

8 burrito-size flour tortillas, warmed

2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese

1/2 cup sliced green onions (optional)

1. Cut chicken breast halves into long, thin strips and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until no longer pink.
3. Stir in water and seasoning mix. Bring to a boil.
4. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cook for about 4 minutes to let the mixture thicken.
5. Stir in beans; cook for 2 minutes or until heated through.
6. Warm the tortillas in the microwave by placing them all between two damp paper towels and heating for about 10-20 seconds.
7. Spread 1/2 cup of the mixture onto each tortilla and top each with lettuce, cheese, and onions; fold into burritos.
