Healthy Dinner

I thought today I would post a recipe that promotes eating healthy. This meal seems a bit complex but as long as you have a microwave in your room you could make this for dinner one night.

BBQ Chicken Burritos

INGREDIENTS

· 1 2-pound roasted chicken, skin discarded, meat removed from bones and shredded (4 cups)

· 1/2 cup prepared barbecue sauce

· 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed

· 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed, or canned corn, drained

· 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

· 4 leaves romaine lettuce

· 4 10-inch whole-wheat tortillas

· 2 limes, cut in wedges

PREPARATION

1. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, barbecue sauce, beans, corn and sour cream; stir to combine. Cook until hot, 4 to 5 minutes.

2. Assemble the wraps by placing a lettuce leaf in the center of each tortilla and topping with one-fourth of the chicken mixture; roll as you would a burrito. Slice in half diagonally and serve warm, with lime wedges.
