Thrifty Thoughts-Fresh Grilled Burritos

Oh man.

You guys are going to die when you eat this meal :)

It is one of the best things I have eaten in a LONG time.

This recipe is very similar to my Northern Bean and Rice Salad.

In fact the only thing that's missing is the rice which you could easily add in.

To start you'll mix:

1 Can of Northern Beans (Bush's brand is the best!)

Chopped Cilantro (you decide amount)

Chopped Onion (you decide amount)

Chopped Tomato (you decide amount)

A couple dashes of Cumin

Salt and Pepper to taste

Lime Juice (as much or little as you like)

Give it all a good stir.

Cook up a chicken breast or two.

I prefer to bake my chicken in the oven.
Before baking I make sure to generously sprinkle it with cumin, pepper and salt.
Shred your chicken up and add it to your bowl.

Fill a flour tortilla with a couple scoops of the mixture and a handful of shredded mexican cheese.

Fold the ends of the tortilla in.

Then wrap it up so it looks like this.

I then coated my griddle with a light coat of olive oil.
Place your burrito on the heated griddle.
While the burrito was browning I made sure to smash it down with a spatula.

Flip and brown the other side.
And that's it!
I served our burritos with fresh guacamole.
Next time I think I will make some Cilantro Lime Ranch to dip them in!

And here's another idea that I think I will do next time.

You could easily double the Northern Bean and Rice Salad.

Eat half of it for dinner one night.
Then the next night add your chicken and make your burritos.
SO incredibly cheap, tasty and filling!

I'm trying to think up more recipes where we can eat the meal one night...

then the next night turn the leftovers into something else.
I'm not a fan of leftovers so I'm thinking if I can disguise them

and turn them into something else it might be more bearable? :)
