Ingredients
How To Prepare
1 In a small stock pot, add the corn and cover with filtered water. Cook over high heat until the water comes to a boil. Turn off heat and allow corn to sit in it for 3-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove corn from hot water and cool.
2 In a large bowl, add the black beans and generously sprinkle with taco seasoning to taste. 3 Shred optional jack cheese and set it aside.
4 Place corn kernels into bowl with bean mixture, and combine well.
5 Warm the tortilla to make it pliable and prevent cracks: Place each tortilla in a dry pan over
medium heat. Rotate the tortilla until it is no longer stiff, then stuff it right away while it’s still
warm.
6 Lay tortillas on the countertop, and scoop the bean/corn mixture onto the center of the tortilla
in a strip. Top each with equal parts of jack cheese and salsa.
7 To roll: First fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling. Then, while holding the
bottom of the tortilla over the filling, fold in the sides. Then, starting from the folded bottom
edge, roll up the tortilla to encase the filling.
8 Serve 4 burritos immediately with guacamole, and wrap the others first in parchment and
then in foil.

remaining chorizo seasoning for another use.
4 For the fajitas: Slice onion into 1/4-inch strips. Slice bell peppers into strips. If your chicken
breasts are thick, butterfly them or slice them horizontally to create thinner breasts. 5 Place onions and peppers in a container or a zip-top bag. Pour 1/2 the marinade on
vegetables and toss them around to coat evenly. Place chicken in another container or
zip-top bag. Pour remaining marinade over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
6 Chill chicken and vegetables for at least 2 hours, or up to 18 hours.
7 When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
8 Grill the chicken, flipping once or twice, until cooked through and the juices are running clear.
Remove and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
9 Meanwhile, if you have a grill skillet, cook the onions and peppers in batches, flipping them
often, until cooked through and golden brown and charred in spots. Alternatively, you can
cook them on the stovetop in a large skillet over high heat for 10-15 minutes.
10 Slice chicken thinly. Serve chicken and vegetables in lettuce leaves, topped with guacamole.
Enjoy!
