Ingredients
  

For Burrito

  • 6 Whole Grain Burritos
  • 1 Pound Ground Chicken
  • 1 Taco Seasoning Packet
  • 1 Sweet Pepper
  • 1 Minced Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Cup Grated Cheese

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 Large Tomato
  • 1 Jalapeno
  • 3/4 Cup Black Beans
  • Handful of Cilantro
  • 1 Lime
  • 3/4 Cup Corn
  • Salsa
  • Sour Cream

Instructions

For Cooking

  • Begin by cooking your chicken & peppers on medium heat until your chicken is mostly white.
  • Once mostly white, add in your minced garlic clove & taco seasoning. Next, add in the recommended amount of water as per the instructions on your seasoning packet, and cook until the water evaporates.
  • While your chicken is cooking, begin prepping your veggies & cheese: dice your tomato, lettuce, and jalapeno. Next, grate your cheese, and strain your beans.

For Assembly

  • If you plan on freezing or meal prepping your burritos, wait until your chicken is cooled before folding your burritos.
  • Set a large pan to medium-low; before filling your tortilla, individually place your tortilla in your pan for 3 seconds on each side. This makes it easier to fold.
  • Add your ingredients to the bottom half of your burrito, fold, and wrap in tin foil!
  • Take an instagramable pic, get your serving sauces and enjoy!
