Chicken and Black Bean Burritos

This was super yummy!  But really just your basic burrito - I'll post the recipe anyways.

2 Tbsp lime juice
Spices
2 C chicken, cooked and shredded
1/4 C green onions
3/4 C black beans
1/2 C fresh pico salsa
4 8-in tortillas
1/2 C shredded cheese

Boil 1/4 C water with lime juice, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp black pepper, dash of red pepper (or don't measure because it's overrated).  Add shredded chicken and green onions.

Combine beans and salsa.  Each tortilla:  Spoon 1/4 of the chicken mixture onto tortilla.  Top with 1/4 of the bean salsa and 2 Tbsp of the cheese.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.  Place the burritos in the skillet, two at a time.  Place a cast-iron pan or other heavy pan on top of the burritos.  Cook on each side for 1-2 minutes.

I topped it with a small spoonful of sour cream and some more salsa.  Geoff forgo the sour cream - he's healthier than me.

We had a big green salad with this.  Delicious!
