Quick and Easy Creamy Salsa Chicken Burritos

Hi Chef In Training readers! I’m Kristy and I blog over at Sweet Treats and More where I share a lot of sweets, healthy eats, and everything in between.  I’m so excited for Nikki and the arrival of her new baby boy! I’m expecting a boy as well and slightly jealous that her little guy is already here.  I love snuggling on little newborns!  I hope you are getting some sleep Nikki, and lovin’ on that little man every chance you get:)

Healthy Creamy Chicken Burritos… This is a recipe that your whole family will love!

Today I wanted to share a quick and easy meal because I know what a challenge getting dinner on the table can be after having a baby.  Especially when you’ve got two other  little kids running around.  But everyone’s got to eat, right?  So I like to stick to super  simple meals that require just a few ingredients.  And if there’s any way to make them a little healthier, I do that too.

Healthy Creamy Chicken Burritos… This is a recipe that your whole family will love!

These Creamy Salsa Chicken Burritos only take 10-15 minutes to throw together! Shredded rotisserie chicken, Greek yogurt,  salsa (your choice), and black beans, make a super creamy, flavorful chicken filling to stuff inside a warm tortilla.  Roll them up with a little brown rice, lettuce, and cheese and you’ve got a great tasting burrito!  The Greek yogurt makes the filling especially creamy, and I promise, no one will know you used Greek yogurt! Make these as mild or as spicy as you’d like with the type of salsa you use!

Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 (14 oz) can black beans, drained
  • 2 cups plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup salsa (I really like to use a mild Salsa verde)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice (use the quick rice)
  • chopped lettuce
  • 1½ cups shredded cheese
  • 4 flour tortillas (or use whole wheat)
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, whisk Greek yogurt, salsa, cumin, garlic, and salt and pepper together over medium heat. Stir in shredded chicken, black beans, and ½ cup of shredded cheese. Cook over medium heat until cheese is melted and mixture is hot.
  2. Warm flour tortillas in the microwave or on a griddle. Divide creamy chicken mixture among tortillas. Top with a heaping spoonful of brown rice, chopped lettuce, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Roll up burritos and serve.

Enjoy!

    These taste exactly as their name. Creamy. Salsa. Chicken. Which turns out, tastes pretty stinkin' awesome. I used Fage Greek Yogurt (0 fat) which tasted very similar to sour cream to me, but without all the bad stuff that you get with sour cream! Pair it with brown rice and whole wheat tortillas and you've got yourself an awesome dinner. My whole family loved them.
