Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works well if you are short on time!)
- 2 medium avocados, diced
- 1 1/2 cups tightly packed spinach
- 3/4 cup cheese (any flavor – I chose mozzarella because that’s what I had but pepper jack would be really good!)
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 3/4 tsp cumin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 8–10 whole wheat tortillas (I filled 9 tortillas with my mixture, but it could be slightly more or less depending on how much filling you use in each tortilla).
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the shredded chicken, diced avocados, spinach, cheese, and black beans in a large bowl. Next add in the spices and seasonings – lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt and garlic. Stir well.
- Spread ~1 tablespoon of the Greek yogurt down the center of the tortilla. Place about 1/4 cup mixture in tortilla. Roll up tightly and place in baking dish. Continue filling and rolling your burritos, placing them in the baking dish side by side. Cover the baking dish with tin foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove tin foil and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes, or until tops of tortillas start to brown and crisp – if you like them crispy.
- Serve with your favorite burrito toppings. Enjoy!
