"Healthified" Chicken and Black Bean Burritos

What is “Healthified”?

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Substitution

Any type of beans can be used in place of the black beans, though smaller beans work best in burritos and wraps.

Variation

Spice up these burritos by adding a little more chili powder and cilantro.

Oh yeah!

This is FAB! My kids liked this recipe with all the beans,cilantro, lime juice better than their usual plain Meat and lettuce ... I did add shredded lettuce to it and mixed it up all together like the other reviewer!

Great flavor

My family truly enjoyed this recipe! I actually added the lime juice and cilantro right into the chicken mixture instead of the rice and I think it truly added great flavor. I also added sauteed onion and red peppers and lined the bottom of the burrito with fat free refriend beans the second time I made it. I may never go back to packets of taco/fajita mix!

This is a fantastic dish. I used onion and garlic when cooking chicken. Making a double batch, I refrigerate the left overs. The family enjoys making a quick to go burrito during their busy schedule. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a simple and delicious way to eat burritos, just right for a quick lunch or dinner, and so healthy. I did not have cilantro, used a mango salsa which I had on hand, added a little habanero sauce and some cooked corn, and enjoyed.
