Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Pulled Rotisserie Chicken
  • 14 oz Frozen Onions and Peppers (3 cups)*
  • 15 oz Black Beans can, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup Frozen Fire Roasted Corn (140g)
  • 8 Flour Protein Tortillas **
  • 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. Combine all cheese sauce ingredients except water in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, adding water by the tablespoon if necessary to reach the desired consistency. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the frozen peppers and onions. Cook for 4-5 minutes until thawed, then stir in the pulled chicken, beans, and corn.
  3. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thoroughly heated.
  4. Remove the pan from heat, add the cheese sauce, and stir until well combined.
  5. Place 8 ounces of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly.
  6. Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grill the burritos for 30-60 seconds per side until golden brown on all sides.

Notes

Sauce Texture: I really recommend blending the cottage cheese until it is completely silky because any leftover lumps can be a bit distracting once the burritos are heated through.
