This recipe was inspired by www.allrecipes.com, but was changed quite a bit from the original! We love any sort of burrito in our family but this has turned into an absolute favorite! Would also be good with your favorite marinated flank steak or other meat! Very easy and sooooo good!!!

Ingredients:

• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut in 2″ slices
• 2 tbsp. Canola corn oil (Mazola corn oil)
• 1 bunch green onion, minced
• 1 small red bell pepper, minced
• 1 c. frozen corn kernels
• 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 c. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 1 or 2 jalapeño peppers, diced (how spicy do you want it?)
• 3 tbsp. fresh cilantro, minced
• 1 tbsp. ground cumin
• 1 tbsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 8 burrito size tortillas
• 8 c. oil for deep frying (optional)
• Guacamole (optional)

Directions:

1. Rub 1 tbsp. Canola oil over chicken breast pieces. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook chicken about 8-10 minutes per side, until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Heat another tbsp. Canola oil in same pan over medium heat. Stir in green onion and red pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes, until tender.
3. Shred chicken with your fingers and mix into the pan with onion and red pepper. Mix in corn , black beans (after rinsed and drained in a colander), spinach, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir for 6-8 minutes, until well blended and tender. Remove from heat and stir in Monterey Jack cheese so that it melts.
4. Heat each tortilla in the microwave for 15 seconds or until hot and pliable.
5. Spoon even amounts of the mixture into each tortilla, fold ends of tortillas, then roll tightly around mixture. Secure with two toothpicks to keep closed.
6. If you have a deep fryer, prepare your oil and cook each burrito for approximately 2-4 minutes, until a light golden color. If you do not have a deep fryer, cover the bottom of a skillet with oil and fry on each side until golden brown. If you prefer not to cook in oil, you can also brown each side of the burrito in a skillet with no oil.
7. Serve with guacamole, salsa and/or sour cream. YUMMY and easy!!!
