Chicken Freezer Burritos

Lunch

Transform leftover chicken into a hearty burrito filling! You will be thrilled to have a stash of frozen burritos on hand that you can microwave for an instant healthy lunch or on-the-go dinner for a busy night.

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

Description

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.
