CHICKEN BURRITOS WITH CHEESE AND BLACK BEAN SALSA



Chicken Burritos With Cheese and Black Bean Salsa image

Adapted from a recipe at the Newman's Own site. This one's a quickie but goodie, handy when you have to eat in a rush! Instead of grilling, you can broil the chicken; as an alternative, you can also cut it into strips BEFORE cooking and dry-sauté the strips in a nonstick spray-coated pan.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed for less heat), minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
10 ounces white button mushrooms, trimmed, thinly sliced
1 rotisserie chicken (about 2 1/2 pounds), skin removed and meat shredded (about 4 cups)

8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese
1 cup fresh cilantro

Carefully fold over the two sides and press slightly, then fold over the top and bottom of the tortilla and press again to form a neat package. Brush a baking sheet with the melted butter. Place the burritos seam side down 1 inch apart and bake , turning once, for 20 minutes, until each side is crispy.
