Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Pulled Rotisserie Chicken
  • 14 oz (3 cups) Frozen Onions and Peppers
  • 15 oz can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup (140g) Frozen Fire Roasted Corn
  • 8 Flour Protein Tortillas
  • For the Cheese Sauce
  • 2 cups Low Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 4 oz Diced Green Chiles
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning
  • 2 oz Colby Jack Cheese
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Water, as needed

Method
 

  1. Add all the cheese sauce ingredients except the water to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to thin the sauce. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add frozen onions and peppers. Cook for 4-5 minutes to thaw.
  3. Add pulled rotisserie chicken, black beans, and fire roasted corn to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese sauce until well combined.
  5. Spoon about 8 oz of the cheesy chicken mixture onto each flour protein tortilla and roll tightly.
  6. Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grill each burrito for 30-60 seconds per side until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy rotisserie chicken burritos!

Notes

  • *I used Trader Joe's fire roasted onions and peppers, but similar frozen options from Kroger or Whole Foods work well. Freshly diced onions and peppers (approx. 3 cups) can be substituted.
  • **Counter protein tortillas were used here, each containing 200 calories, 11g protein, 23g carbs, and 6g fat. The cheesy chicken mixture alone has 2,020 calories, 223g protein, 190g carbs, 54g fiber, and 46g fat.
