Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) Black Beans
  • 2 Tablespoons Salsa Macha
  • 1 pound Pulled Chicken I used Trader Joe's Salsa Verde Chicken
  • 10 Tortillas I used Trader Joe's 6" Corn and Wheat Tortillas
  • 6 oz Pepper Jack Cheese freshly grated

For the Salsa (optional)

  • 2 Jalapeño Peppers seeded and diced
  • 2 Shallots diced (or 1 red onion)
  • 2-3 handfuls Cilantro chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Salsa Macha
  • Juice of 1 Lime

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400ºF and line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Blend the black beans and salsa macha together until smooth and set aside. (The sauce should be easy to spoon over the tortillas as opposed to a thicker paste. Thin with 1-2 tablespoons of water, if needed.)
  • Mix the salsa verde chicken together with 2 oz of cheese and set aside.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds (or briefly heat in a pan over medium heat) until pliable.
  • Add about 3 tablespoons (50g) of the chicken mixture to each tortilla and roll them to seal. Place sealed-side-down in 5 sets of 2 on the sheet pan.
  • Spoon the black bean sauce over the rolled tortillas, spreading it around to cover all sides. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and turning golden brown around the edges.
  • Garnish with the salsa, queso fresco, and lime wedges. (I've also served with a thinned nonfat Greek yogurt drizzle, TJ's guacasalsa or salsa verde, and pickled veggies.)
