Shredded Chicken and Pinto Bean Burritos
Serves 6

All you need:

• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chile powder
• 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chiles
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 4 c. shredded Hy-Vee rotisserie chicken
• 1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed
• 6 (10 inch) whole wheat tortillas or wraps, warmed*
• 3/4 c. grated Monterey or Pepper Jack cheese

All you do:

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes.
2. Stir in garlic, cumin and chile powder and cook for about 30 seconds.
3. Add tomatoes and lime juice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the onions are very soft, 16 to 20 minutes.
