Smokey Chicken, Black Bean, Sweet Potato Burrito

August 4, 2026 by dinnertonight

Microwave burritos get a serious upgrade with this easy yet tasty recipe that can be made at home or in a dorm room! Packed with protein from rotisserie chicken and black beans, and fillingĀ  fiber from the diced sweet potatoes and whole wheat tortilla, this burrito is sure to keep you full and satisfied through long class or work days, late night study sessions, or whatever you have planned for the day.
And if the smoky southwest flavors don’t win you over, the easy blender salsa (made from a mix of easy to store pantry essentials, and fresh peppers, cilantro, and lime juice for pizzazz) is sure to be one you turn to again and again!
