Chicken and Black Bean-Stuffed Burritos

My awesome husband spent Labor Day doing some much needed yard work. It literally took him all day to weed, mow, do some other things with soil and put down some mulch. A whole lot of freakin’ mulch. 40 big bags to be exact. Our yard (front and back) looks better and I’m happy that I’m not looking out at dry dirt and soil anymore.

 

Since my husband worked all day in the yard and even skipped lunch in the process, I made one of his favorite things to eat: Chicken and Black Bean Stuffed Burritos. We are trying to go a little healthier, at least for this meal, so I left out the guacamole and sour cream and played dumb when he asked for some. He would eat at Chipotle every other day if I let him (thank God we don’t have one too close to our house). And McDonald’s on the off days if I let him. .

 

These homemade burritos were delicious and the raw tortillas from Costco that you cook at home, made them perfect! Seriously, in my book, the tortilla has to be freakin’ awesome in order for your burrito or fajita to be good and these were wonderful. And why not go another step further and add sautéed onions and mushrooms? It just tastes too good not to add these sautéed vegetables. If you want even more flavor, I used a chicken marinade and grilled my chicken. . so should I call this a fajita now? You can use shredded rotisserie chicken breast OR Grilled Curry Chicken marinated chicken breasts (
