Chicken, Black Bean, and Brown Rice Burritos

This is another 'recipe' I made up - I just love anything with any of the above, throw mexican flavours into the mix - and I love it even more!

These are very reminiscent of the Steamworks burritos in Vancouver (what, do I sense some melancholy for the west coast today?). Also, lunches in my home are as important as dinner - so I'm always thinking about things to freeze, remove in the morning, and heat for lunch. These freeze really well, and heat up nicely in the microwave - really satisfying.

I took some chicken tenders, and gave them a mexican rub with some cumin, ancho chilli powder, and cayenne. Chopped some red peppers and onions, and threw all into a pan to cook. Added a big blob of salsa, a can of drained black beans, and some leftover brown rice. Simmer.

Add a dollop of slightly cooled mixture onto your tortilla, add a bit of shredded cheese, roll - lather, rinse, repeat. Ole!
