Summertime Burritos
Total Time: 30 minutes
Makes:  4 - 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 medium red onion, sliced thin
  • 2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 pre-roasted chicken, boned and shredded
  • 1 8 oz package of crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 15 oz. can of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • Salt and black pepper
  • pinch of cumin
  • 12” flour tortillas, warmed in the microwave
  • 1 large, ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 jar of prepared salsa
  • 1 bunch of fresh cilantro, rough chopped
  • wedges of fresh lime for serving

Directions

The only cooking you’ll have to do is a quick sauté.  Heat the vegetable oil in a medium size pan over medium-high heat, then cook the red onion for about two minutes until it starts to soften, then add the garlic and red bell pepper.  Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes - you want the bell pepper to retain some of its crunch.

 

In a large bowl, toss together the shredded chicken, feta cheese, sun dried tomato, black beans and the cooked bell pepper mixture. Then, season with salt, pepper and a pinch of cumin. To assemble the burritos, smear just the middle of a warm tortilla with some avocado, then pile a big spoonful of the chicken mixture, top with salsa, crumbled feta cheese, cilantro, a drizzle of lime juice and wrap.  With a simple tossed salad, this makes a great summer meal!
