Total Time: 25 minutes

Servings: 4 burritos

Note: You can use a spicy black bean dip instead of refried beans, if you prefer.

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt, pepper

1 tablespoon oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 tablespoon lime juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 burrito-size cilantro- or spinach-flavored tortillas

1 cup refried beans

1 avocado, peeled and thinly sliced

2 tomatoes, cored and diced

2 cups grated mild Cheddar cheese or grated Mexican-blend cheese

1/2 cup mild taco sauce

1/2 cup sour cream

1. Slice chicken breasts into strips, and slice strips in half. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Heat oil in medium skillet over high heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with chili powder, lime juice and garlic. Cook until chicken is no longer pink inside, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

3. Divide tortillas between 2 baking sheets. Spread each tortilla with 1/4 cup beans, 1/4 cup sliced avocado, 1/4 cup tomatoes and 1/2 cup cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, 1 to 3 minutes.

4. Pour 2 tablespoons taco sauce over melted cheese on each burrito. Divide chicken among tortillas. Top with 1 to 2 tablespoons sour cream. Roll up tortillas by folding bottoms up 1/4 of the way, then sides so that they overlap each other.
