Tortillas are so versatile! Be sure to try both traditional corn tortillas and whole wheat tortillas, as well as any others that catch your fancy. Serve these as a starter by themselves, or with a side salad for a complete meal.

Ingredients: 
  • 8 (10-inch) whole-wheat tortillas
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 (2.5 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons diced, canned green chilies
  • 1/3 cup sliced green onion (including tops)
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions: 
  1. Combine tomatoes, olives, black beans, chilies, green onions and cilantro; set aside.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons water, chili powder, cumin, pepper, and chicken. Sautè for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add tomato mixture to the chicken mix and heat 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Place 1/2 cup filling on each tortilla and roll up. 5. To serve, cut each rolled tortilla in half, and serve 1 half to each person with a side of greens.
