oh yeah, corn might be good to throw into the burrito too. this recipe also works with hamburger and steak.

get chicken cutlets and lightly cover them on both sides with these seasonings
Salt

Red Pepper
Cumin
Basil( i'm sure cilantro would be a good alternative)
Paprika
and chili powder is optional
Saute these up, take them off and pull them apart like pulled pork. you can do this with 2forks. Ok, when your chicken is ready, get diced onions and peppers cut into juliander(strips) and saute these up. When this is done, get a tortilla and run it under water. pop the tortilla in the microwave for 20 seconds. when it is out, immediantly put the chicken, sauted veges, beans, and cheese on it. Rolled it up like a burrito and pop in in the oven at 500 till the tortilla hardens and browns over.
This recipe is great. I've made them twice in two weeks and I'm already experimenting with different ingredients. Props for this one!

Ya I love the fatty sour cream and yellow cheeses lol...
but some of these ideas are awesome! I know the diet is just as important as the actual workout so it's nice to learn more about how to eat the food I love without worrying about it having an adverse effect on my goals.

This is an oldish thread I know, but I thought I would share. I make shredded chicken for mexican food in mass quantities (there is a high demand for tacos in the apt.), and then put them in little freezer bags for personal use later.
Just put chicken breasts in a pot, and throw some onions and garlic in there. I usually cut up about half an onion for two breasts. Fill with water until the chicken is covered and boil it until it's cooked all the way through (should be 165 F on the inside, but if you don't have a thermometer, it takes about 35 min.) Save the broth.
Let it cool enough to handle and shred it with a fork. Then put it in a pan with cumin, black pepper, diced tomatoes, and whatever you want basically (black beans, chopped onions, olives, jalepenos, whatever you have). Cook it for like 20 seconds, then add enough of the broth to moisten it up and cook it for another few minutes.
And that's it! I like to eat it on corn tortillas but it's also good with just lettuce. And you can just freeze it and heat it up whenever you want. I strain and freeze the leftover broth too, for other recipes.

Kitty thank you for sharing this. I am going to try doing this on some chicken this week. Thanks again!!
