Chicken and Black Bean Burritos

240 Calories per Burrito

One of my favorite things about this meal is how FAST and EASY it is to make. I mean, the prep time says 25 minutes, but I really think that you could do it in 10. My secret to alot of these recipes that include chicken is to buy the pre-cooked strips/chunks in the sandwich meat section. They have flavors (southwest, honey roasted, etc) but I usually just get the plain grilled kind. It's kind of cheating I guess, but it makes things so fast! Another thing about this meal is that it's great in a burrito but it's also great in a bowl. The hubs actually prefers it in a bowl. He gives this meal 4 and a half stars.

(Another PS- my dagum camera on my phone should be fixed this weekend- so we'll only have to deal with these terrible pics for a couple more days!)
