Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ cup chopped red onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 (15 ounce) can low-sodium black beans, rinsed
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 cups chopped kale
- 1 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ teaspoon grated lime zest (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 (8 inch) whole-wheat tortillas
Directions
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add beans, water and chipotle; bring to a simmer, mashing slightly with the back of a spatula. Stir in chicken and kale; cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in Cheddar, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and salt.
- Spread 3/4 cup filling on the bottom third of each tortilla, then roll tightly, burrito-style. Individually wrap the burritos tightly in foil and place in a sealable plastic bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat one frozen burrito, unwrap and transfer to a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a paper towel and microwave on High until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
