Black Bean and Chicken Burritos

It was 2 days after Christmas and I had never craved fruits and vegetables more in my life. I think I ate my weight in Christmas cookies this year! I totally got off track on my meal planning, due to so many holiday parties and family gatherings. It’s time to get back to healthy family dinners, starting with these black bean and chicken burritos.   black bean and chicken burritos recipe

But first, how about a little Christmas recap? 🙂

The kids couldn’t even open their stockings until Mommy took the “Stand in Front of the Tree” pic. I love how in the second one John is trying to nab Johnny’s pacifier, haha! He’s determined to potty train the little guy AND break him of the paci over winter break. I’m excited for when we get him out of diapers!

We were blessed with so many great gifts this year. Each of them was a winner. I was pretty stoked to come across this shirt for Logan. It’s from Etsy. Anyone get the reference? 😉   Logan and his Hamilton shirt from Etsy

The girls got tons of great gifts, all of which are their new favoritest thing ever. Oh, and Emily wore a party hat for most of the morning. Happy birthday, Jesus!

Johnny’s aunt gave him a Thomas the Train play set. He just turned two and it’s the perfect gift for him.   2-year-old Johnny and his Thomas the Train set at Christmas

John got me concert tickets (he’s so cool!) and a tripod for my camera. I can’t wait to break it in! I didn’t use it on this black bean and chicken burritos recipe, unfortunately.

This dinner was pretty quick and easy to put together. My little guys liked it, but they’re not very good at eating burritos so I cut their tortillas into pieces and made them burrito “bowls”. 😉

Next week I’m going to use up the leftover turkey in some enchiladas. Yum!
