Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast meat (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, washed and drained
  • 1 cup Mission salsa
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 8 medium size Mission soft taco tortillas

  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 diced tomato
  • 2 teaspoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Reduced fat sour cream
  • Mission salsa

Preparation

  1. Mix chicken, black beans, salsa, cilantro, chipotle pepper and honey in large sauce pan. Heat over medium heat until hot. Remove from heat.
  2. Heat large skillet over medium heat, and spray with vegetable cooking spray. Place one tortilla flat on skillet. After a minute, flip tortilla over.
  3. Carefully spread about 1/2 cup chicken mixture on top of tortilla to the edges. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Place another tortilla on top, press down with a spatula.
