Ingredients
  

  • 1 rotisserie chicken bones and skin removed (about 4 cups of meat)
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 cup bell pepper diced
  • 1 can of black beans
  • 1 7 oz can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 2.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 pre-cooked large flour tortillas

TACO SEASONING BLEND

  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • ½ tbsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

PREP YOUR CHICKEN AND SEASONINGS

  • Remove the bones and skin from the rotisserie chicken and set aside. Chop or break apart the larger pieces of meat so everything is bite-sized.
  • Add all the ingredients for the Taco Seasoning blend to a small bowl and set aside.

MAKE THE BURRITO FILLING

  • Add oil to a large pan and heat on medium high. Add bell peppers and cook for about 3 minutes until they have started to soften, then add beans and spices for the Taco Seasoning Blend. Saute for about a minute then add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and cook for about 3 minutes or until the sauce begins to simmer. Use the edge of your wooden spoon to break apart the chipotle peppers.
  • Add cream cheese and mix until it has fully incorporated into the sauce. Take the mixture off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes then add the cooked chicken. Mix until the chicken is well coated with the creamy sauce and your burrito filling is complete.

ASSEMBLE THE BURRITOS

  • Add a scoop of the filling towards the bottom half of the burrito along with about 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and any additional toppings you'd like to add.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling. Next fold the bottom flap then roll upwards while continuing the tuck in the sides of the tortilla with your fingers.
  • Lay a sheet of wax/parchment paper or foil on a diagonal then wrap up the burrito. Continue until all your burrito filling has been used, then add the burritos into a large zip loc bag and store in the freezer.
