Guilt Free Burritos

My typical go-to recipe when I want Mexican food is usually this one but I was feeling something a little more fresh and fewer calories.

(Side note: I despise these red plates, the first thing we're registering for is crisp white dishes. I'm thisclose to just buying some now)

Ingredients:
-Package of whole wheat tortillas in burrito size
-2 cups cooked shredded chicken (shredded cooked chicken breasts or deli section already shredded chicken will work!)
-1 can black beans-rinsed and drained
-1 cup re fried beans
-1/2 cup diced green peppers
-1/2 cup finely sliced green onions
-1 cup salsa of your choice
-1 cup cheese
This wonderful invention made chopping my onions and green pepper a lot less time consuming! Worth every penny.

Directions:
-Preheat oven at 375 degrees
-Spray non-stick spray on baking pan, set aside.
-Mix together green peppers, green onions, black beans, salsa, and chicken.
-Spread a spoonful of re fried beans on the middle of each tortilla.
-Put 2 spoonfuls of chicken mixture in tortilla, wrap in any style you like. 
-Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
-Optional: Top with sour cream and salsa

Serve with some Mexican rice (and a Corona) and you're ready for a mid-week Mexican fiesta!
