Chicken and Black Bean Burritos

We had lots of leftover rotisserie chicken that we had to use and I found this recipe. I didn't really measure the spices, but ours could have used a little more kick. I put some salsa on top and that made it yummy! Here is the simplified version of the already simple recipe with a few tweaks.

Bring to a boil:
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Add to the pot and stir until heated :
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken breast
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup refrigerated fresh salsa

Spread out four flour tortillas and put filling down the middle. Top with shredded cheese (omit cheese if making it dairy-free).

Fold the ends, roll up like a burrito and heat for 2-3 minutes on a nonstick pan with a heavy pan on top to squish it. Flip and heat for another 2-3 minutes.

Enjoy!
