Chicken Burrito Casserole
It’s taco Tuesday in our house and I’m switching things up and making a burrito casserole with leftover shredded chicken from my roasted chicken I made this weekend!
This is such a light and easy meal that you can turn into a burrito bowl for less carbs! Let’s just get right to it!

- 14oz can black beans, strained and rinsed
- 5 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack
- 1 jalapeño, sliced and de-seeded (optional)
Directions
