Ingredients:

1/2 can diced black olive

Directions:
I made these after making chicken enchiladas. I had more of my enchilada mixture left once I ran out of tortillas and though why not. Let's just throw them in a burrito and freeze them. So that's what I did.

You can use any kind of chicken you prefer. I had about 3 cups cooked chicken leftover. I had boiled a whole chicken and shredded the meat.

My pinto beans came from a pot of pinto beans I had made. You can use whatever beans you like.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl together. Layer about 3 tablespoons onto burrito size flour tortillas. Wrap your burritos. I like to freeze my burritos. I do a flash freezing method that works very well. I put the burritos on parchment paper on a baking sheet and put them in a freezer just like that without covering them for 1 hour. I then put them into gallon sized ziplock bags and store them in the freezer for whenever I want to use them. They take about 2 1/2 minutes in the microwave and always come out good.

This was inspired by Billy's mom Barbara Gallian's enchilada recipe. The picture above is her with my daughter Melody Eve Hurt trick or treating when she was 2 years old.
