Chicken Burritos with Black-Bean Salsa and Pepper Jack

Rate & Review

(214 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Pepper Jack cheese looks innocent enough but adds a nice kick to these burritos. If you prefer a milder taste, use regular Jack instead.

wine recommendation

With the heat from the cheese, stay away from any serious, high-alcohol, low-acid wines. Try a white from a cooler growing area such as a riesling from the Finger Lakes region of New York or any white from the Alto Adige region of Italy. A cold beer is a great alternative.

Chicken Burritos with Black-Bean Salsa and Pepper Jack

This is an "OK" burrito -- reliable, fast, and standard. It's certainly worth making (especially if you need a quick fix for a meal), but don't expect any of the flavors to knock your socks off. In other words, this isn't "serving for guests" material.

While the black bean salsa had a good thing going, I'd strongly recommend adding more punch to this recipe by layering in some kind of corn-based salsa (in addition to the beans) for more flavor. And don't be afraid of using pepper jack -- it adds a necessary flavor to the burrito.
