1 (14.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 ½ cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
10 flour tortillas (8-inch/medium)

Instructions

For the burritos

In a medium bowl, gently mix the chicken, taco seasoning, black beans and pepper Jack cheese.
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese down the center of each tortilla.
Evenly distribute the chicken mixture among the tortillas.
Roll tortillas up, burrito style, by folding the ends in and rolling the tortilla over the filling.
