Name: Chicken Burritos with Black-Bean Salsa and Pepper Jack
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 1 2/3 cups drained and rinsed black beans (from one 15-ounce can); 2 scallions including green tops, chopped; 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice; 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 1/3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4); 1/4 teaspoon chili powder; 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper; 1/2 pound pepper Jack cheese, grated; 4 large (9-inch) flour tortillas

Make Ahead

You can assemble the burritos ahead of time and bake them just before serving. If they've been in the refrigerator, add about five minutes to the baking time.

Serve With

Embellish your burritos with sour cream or salsa, if you like. Sliced tomatoes or rice would make good side dishes.

Suggested Pairing

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.

I've made this recipe a couple of times now. The first time I followed it to the letter. While the taste was very good, the burritos were a bit soggy from the lime juice. The second time I still used the lime juice, but I drained the salsa before I assembled the burritos. I added the zest from the lime for flavor. I also shredded the chicken instead of slicing it, which made rolling the burritos easier. It's a quick and tasty meal that will stay in regular rotation at my house.

By "chili powder" do you mean the compounded stuff we use to make chili, or do you mean powdered chillies?
