                       Fat free sour cream
  2       cn           Pinto beans -- drained and

                       Salsa
                       Lettuce -- chopped
                       Tomatoes -- chopped
                       Burrito-sized flour
                       -tortillas

 Place chicken, onion, bay leaves, spices in a pot and cover with
 chicken stock. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer until
 the chicken is done. Remove the chicken, let cool and shred. Strain
 the broth and save.

 Drain, rinse and drain the pinto beans. Place the pinto beans in a
 food processor and process until smooth, adding 2 tb of either
 salsa or chicken broth or sour cream if too thick. In a bowl,
 combine the chicken and beans, again adding salsa or the chicken
 stock until the filling mixture is moist enough to stick together.
 (If you get it too wet, add more processed beans. Add the chopped
 red onion, the jalepeno pepper, the chopped cilantro and mix.

 Take a large flour tortilla and spread with a little bit of the fat
 free sour cream and some grated cheese.  Add 2 tb of the filling on
 one end and fold the sides over and then roll up. You can use a
 toothpick to keep it rolled up or place it end side down to keep it
 from unrolling.

 Either bake in a hot (450 F) oven until brown and crunchy or
 microwave until hot. Serve toped with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion,
 fatfree sour cream, grated cheese, salsa, and jalepenos.
