Ingredients
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken, shredded
  • 1 can (15 ounces) Canned Black Beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Diced Onion
  • 1/2 cup Diced Bell Pepper (any color)
  • 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 16-20 count Small Flour Tortillas (6-inch)
  • Salsa (optional)
  • Sour Cream (optional)

Sauté Vegetables

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

Add shredded chicken, black beans, and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Assemble Burritos

Warm the small flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable. Place a spoonful of the chicken and black bean mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Wrap Burritos

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly, starting from the bottom. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.

Bake Burritos (Optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the mini burritos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, you can pan-fry the burritos in a little oil until golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Serve the mini chicken and black bean burritos warm with your favorite toppings, such as salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!
