  • 1 large avocado peeled, pitted, and mashed until smooth
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 2/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

instructions

  • To make the salsa verde chicken, add chicken breast and HERDEZ® Roasted Salsa Verde to the insert of an Instant Pot. Set to Manual and cook on High pressure for 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

  • Add avocado, black beans, shredded cheddar, cream cheese, and salsa verde to the shredded chicken. Stir to combine until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Add tortillas to the microwave and warm for about 10 to 15 seconds.

  • Working from the bottom, roll up the tortilla tightly. Place seam side down on the lined baking sheet.
  • Bake until golden and crispy on the outside, about 15 minutes.
