Brown Bag Burritos

I recently bought a bag of pre-marinated chicken fajita meat on sale at Kroger, and decided to make it for dinner on Monday night.  However, it made a TON.  I think I could have easily fed 6-8 people with the amount of meat in that package!  So, instead of having fajitas for 3 nights in a row, I decided to get creative and make some changes to this brown bag burrito recipe.  Oh. My. Goodness.  They were delicious!! 

Here is what I used:

Left over chicken fajita meat (~1 lb)
Left over sauted onions (~1/4 cup)
1 can fat free refried beans
1 can enchilada sauce
1/4 cup dried minced onions
1/4 cup water
1/2 Tbl chili powder
1/2 Tbl garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregeno
salt to taste
1 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
10-20 tortillas (depending on size of tortilla)

1.Chop the chicken and sauted onions into small pieces and mixed them with the remaining ingredients.
2. Let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes until thickened. 
3. Put the mixture into tortillas (I used fresh whole wheat tortillas from Kroger...not burrito size, but they still work).  I used a small scooper (the scooper I use for cookies) to place mix into the tortillas.
4. Roll tortilla into burrito.
5. Cover the burrito with a paper towel, then with foil (unless you are going to immediately serve).

These can be frozen, then taken out when you want to eat them.  When ready to eat, remove foil and microwave for about a minute. The paper towel keeps the burritos moist. If you don’t use a microwave, skip the paper towel and just wrap in foil. Then heat burritos in the oven with foil. For a sit down meal they are nice topped with lettuce, cheese, salsa, and sour cream. If you’re eating on the run, though, just grab and go!

These are SOOO yummy!!
