Chicken and bean burritos

I love to eat, a lot. My love of eating means that I often get to cook for myself, again I like this but sometimes I don't want to eat an entire casserole or even all of the tacos. So I always love when I find, or create, a recipe that stands up to the freezer. I also love mexican food, so these burritos are fantastic. I thought I would share these with you. I have adapted several different recipes to make these so unfortunately I don't have a link to the original but I am sure if you have pin boards you have seen these.

Chicken and Bean Burritos

Ingredients:
2 cups shredded chicken
1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup mexican cheese
1/2 cup of raw rice, cooked (about 1 cup when cooked)
Southwest Cooking Cream (Philladelphia Cream Cheese Brand)
Tortillas (I used the small ones, maybe 6 inches)

1: Shred the chicken, I used a roasted chicken from Target because I didn't feel like cooking. This would also be a great use for leftover chicken.
2: Toss the remaining ingredients together leaving the cooking cream for last.
3: Add the cooking cream until it is the consistency that you like, mine looked like this.

All mixed up, I like mine pretty creamy

4: Plop a few scoops in the middle of a tortilla

5: Roll up the tortilla and put it seam down on the cooking sheet, if you want the tortilla to be more pliable you can heat it up in the microwave for a few seconds 10-15.

6: Once they are all rolled up you have two choices, 400 for 15-20 minutes  OR you can freeze them. I turn mine once about 10 minutes into the cooking. If you freeze them cook for the full 20 minutes.

They will not be this brown after but they are done when the edges are brown

You might notice that these are really brown, I tried to cook them in a skillet. That was a major failure as they were super crispy on the outside and cold on the inside. I don't really recommend that unless everything is already hot and you just want to crisp up the outside.

I love the way all of the cheese melted together, so yummy.

I tend to eat mine with salsa and sour cream and most likely with a side of refried beans or something else. The frozen ones were really really good, these will definitely become a regular part of my cooking routine since you can freeze them and eat them on the nights when I am just too tired to make a full meal. Also feel free to add whatever else might be good, I have made them without the rice before and they were still very very good.
