Ingredients
1 tablespoon Canola oil
1 Large orange bell pepper, finely diced
1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Chili powder
one 15 1/2 ounce Can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
One Cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 cup Pre-shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
3/4 cup Salsa
6-8 Flour tortillas, 8 inch
1/2 cup Reduced-fat sour cream, optional
Preparation
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, cumin, and chili powder and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the beans, corn, cheese, and salsa and cook until the mixture is heated through and the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, stack the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, uncovered, and heat in the microwave until warmed through, 30 to 45 seconds. Assemble by placing the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Wrap burrito style and serve with sour cream as desired.
