Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken into thin julienne strips. In a large skillet, saute the bacon until crisp; remove and crumble, reserving 2 Tbsp of the drippings in the skillet.

  2. 2

    Saute the chicken and garlic in the reserved drippings until the chicken is opaque. Add 1/2 cup of the picante sauce, the black beans, red bell pepper, cumin, and salt. Simmer 7 to 8 minutes, until thickened. Stir in the green onions and crumbled bacon.

  3. 3

    Top each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture and 1 Tbsp of the cheese. Roll up and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

  4. 4

    Top with the remaining 1 cup picante sauce. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake 3 minutes more, until the cheese is melted. Serve hot.
