Ingredients:
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil

½ teaspoon grated lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Step 1
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add beans, water and chipotle; bring to a simmer, mashing slightly with the back of a spatula.
Step 3
Stir in chicken and kale; cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat. Stir in Cheddar, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and salt.
Step 5
Spread 3/4 cup filling on the bottom third of each tortilla, then roll tightly, burrito-style. Individually wrap the burritos tightly in foil and serve. Any leftover burritos can be placed in a ziplock baggie and placed in the freezer.
