Maura's Chicken Burritos

My sister has recently gotten into cooking and I have heard my parents on numerous occasions say how good she is which is really the shocker considering the concoctions she used to throw together when we were children. Let's just say her cooking has come along way from the jello pasta molds she once made! Anyway she was visiting Hunter and I last week and made these FABULOUS chicken burritos for dinner one night.

Here's the recipe:


Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown rice (optional)
2 cloves garlic; 1 smashed, 1 minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)
1 mango, sliced
1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
1 15-ounce can black beans
1 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno peppers, plus 2 tablespoons pickling liquid
4 8-inch whole-wheat tortillas
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 avocado, sliced

Directions:

Cook rice according to package.

Shred chicken in large bowl and put aside.

Chop grape tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers and combine in small bowl. Add garlic, salt & pepper, and black beans to the bowl and mix. Then add shredded chicken and mix again.

Slice mango and avocado into large pieces and place in another small bowl.

Serve chicken mixture and mango-avocado mixture with whole wheat-tortillas and shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese.

This meal taste very fresh and fulfills numerous daily nutrients- what could be better?! This is an easy recipe, requires little cooking (which is a big PLUS in my book in the summer) and makes great leftovers for lunch the next day or another dinner.

Enjoy!!
