Ingredients

The Core

• 4 Large Whole Wheat Tortillas
• 1 lb Chicken Breast (diced small)
• 1 can (15oz) Cannellini Beans (Rinsed)
• ½ Onion (diced)
• 1 Green Bell Pepper (diced)
• 1 stalk Celery (diced)

The "Bayou Heat" Blend

• 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
• 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tbsp Onion Powder
• 1 tsp Dried Thyme
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• ½ - 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper (Adjust for heat)

Instructions

1. The Spice Blend: Mix all dry spices (Paprika, Garlic, Onion, Thyme, Oregano, Black Pepper, Cayenne) in a small cup. This is your blackening seasoning.
2. The "Savory Glue": Rinse the Cannellini beans and place them in a bowl. Add half of your spice blend to the beans. Mash thoroughly with a fork until it forms a thick, spicy paste. (This paste is what prevents the wrap from dripping).
3. The High-Heat Sear: Heat a skillet with a little oil. Toss in the chicken chunks and the remaining half of the spice blend. Cook for 2-3 minutes to sear. Add the onion, green pepper, and celery. Sauté until veggies are soft.

   Important: Cook until the pan is dry and liquid has evaporated.

4. Combine & Roll: Dump the hot chicken mixture directly into the bowl with the mashed beans. Stir to combine into a thick filling. Spoon onto tortillas, roll tightly, and wrap in foil.

🚛 Driver's Notes

• Heating: Place foil-wrapped burrito on the dash (defrost vent) or in a 12v warmer for 20 mins. If using a microwave, remove foil and wrap in a paper towel.
• Eating: Peel the foil down like a banana. The bean binder prevents the chicken from falling out while shifting.
