Chicken and Black Bean Burritos Recipe (Lean & Gluten-Free)

These burritos are packed with tons of protein and fibre. Better yet, they’re light and will not weigh you down, meaning you may want to eat more than one! And that’s totally okay! The blackened chicken gives such incredible flavour and is a much healthier alternative to ground beef. That makes these babies lean and perfect for lunch, dinner, or even after a workout.
