Big Batch Black Bean & Chicken Burritos
Prepare a huge amount of burritos to feed a small army or stash in your freezer for healthy fast food!
Equipment
- 1 microwave
Ingredients
- 4 cups refried black beans
- 4 cups shredded chicken
- 2 pkgs Baja blend corn (thawed from frozen & drained)
- 1-2 pds cheese (crumbled or shredded)
- ¼-½ cup salsa
- 20-25 flour tortillas, burrito size
Instructions
- Mix the beans and chicken in a large pot or bowl - you want to use equal amounts of each
- Add the baja blend corn and any other vegetables
- Add salsa and any other wet ingredients
- mix in the cheese (add cheese if mixture seems too wet - you want the mix to be dry)
- layer a single wax paper sheet, alternating with a single tortilla in a stack of five or six (you want the wax paper on the bottom)
- Microwave the tortillas for 10 seconds
- Put one over full 1/2 cup of the mix per tortilla and roll up folding in the sides part-way through.
- Wrap your burrito in the wax paper (that should have been underneath the tortilla)
Cooking instructions
- Microwave: in the waxed paper for 1:20 seconds on 50% power (add 30 seconds at high if not hot enough)
- In the Pan: Microwave first for 30 seconds to a minute. Then add 2-3 tablespoons oil to a hot skillet and fry the burrito for 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown
- In the Oven: Place the burrito on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in a 350° oven for about 25 minutes (check after 15)
- In the Air Fryer: Microwave first for 30 seconds and cook in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 325° (you may need to adjust this depending on your fryer)
