Baked Burritos


Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients:
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 large chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
  • 2 cups cooked whole grain rice
  • 2 cup cheddar cheese, divided
  • 6 large wheat tortillas
  • Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, green onion, lettuce, and tomato
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken and about ½ cup enchilada sauce, or until the chicken is fully coated. Toss until evenly combines. Stir in lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Working one burrito at a time, lay a tortilla on a cutting board or clean working surface. Add a scoopful each of rice and beans to the center. Add the chicken mixture then top with a small handful of cheese.  Reserve about ½ cup of cheese total to sprinkle on the burritos before baking. Roll the burrito tightly and place in a large casserole dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  4. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the burritos then sprinkle the extra cheeses on top. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
  5. Garnish with green onion and serve with plain Greek yogurt and tomatoes, if desired.
