Introduction
These shredded chicken burritos are so delicious! This recipe is so easy, quick, healthy and filling! With this recipe and these toppings, you'll come just under 400 calories even with a small side salad of leftover lettuce, peppers, and onions. You can mix it up and play with the ingredients and toppings (remember, this can change nutritional values). I love to add sliced jalepenos and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat! Hope you enjoy!! These shredded chicken burritos are so delicious!

Ingredients
-
1 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1/4 cup each--Green & Red Bell Pepper Strips
1/3 cup Red or White Onion (cut into strips)
1/4 Salsa
1/2 cup Corn n' Peppers (canned; ie-- Kuner's)
1/4 cup FF Refried beans (ie--Old el Paso)
2 Flour Tortillas (ie--Mission Brand--80cal/ea)
1/2 Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
1/4 cup Kraft 2% Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 TB Light Sour Cream
*Parkay Zero-Calorie Buttery Spray
*Salt/Pepper or 0-Sodium Seasoning
*No Calorie Non-Stick Cooking Spray (ie--Pam)
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 and spray a small cooking dish with Pam. Butterfly-cut the chicken breast and then sprinkle lightly with S&P or seasoning. Cover the pan with tin foil and cook chicken until done (turn once during cooking).
While chicken bakes, preheat a small skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the pan with Pam and spray the onions and peppers with Parkay. Place onions in the pan and sprinkle with S&P; add in about 1/4 cup water and the pepper strips. Cook until tender-crisp and onions are transparent. Remove from heat, drain water and return to pan.
Using a fork and knife, shred the chicken breast and add the meat to the peppers/onions. Mix in salsa and, if necessary, just a TB or so water to help the salsa coat the meat/veggies. Cook over low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
When finished, spread equal portions of the beans and sour cream onto each tortilla shell and top with the meat/veggie mix. Sprinkle with corn then cheese and top with lettuce. Roll up the tortillas and place in a shallow baking dish with folded sides down. Sprinkle the tops with any remaining cheese and cook in the already preheated oven for a couple of minutes or until cheese has melted.
Serves 2; Make a quick fresh side salad with any leftover lettuce, corn, peppers, or onions. Use salsa as "dressing" to save calories!
