Awesome Chicken Burritos

Grilling is one of the highlights of summer. This awesome chicken burritos recipe has been a favorite in our house forever. And, is usually the first meal we make when we fire up the grill. Who doesn’t love BBQ chicken?

Barbecued Chicken Breasts

Just look at this chicken. Hot off the grill and ready to go. Challenge here… Bet when you make these burritos that you will NOT be able to eat only one. My Dad, when he was alive, told me that he only wanted one burrito one night when he was over for dinner. I told him that he wouldn’t be able to only eat one. Guess what? He had three, they’re that good!

Grilled Chicken Recipe

There is wonderful flavor in these burritos. Marinating the chicken first is the most important step for these awesome chicken burritos. The ranch style beans have their own unique flavor. They do sell ranch style bean with jalapenos, which are delicious and they tastes amazing in this recipe as well. So either style of beans works well depending on your taste.

Chunky Salsa Recipe

The salsa might not look the best but it is amazing. Adding the 4 additional ingredients  gives the salsa so much flavor and the cilantro just tops it off. You can never have too much cilantro. Feel free to add more avocados or other ingredients to the salsa. The chunkier, the better!

Making Chicken Burritos

When you are assembling the burritos, cut the chicken into small strips. Heat up the uncooked tortillas and coat with a thin layer of real butter. Add a couple tablespoons of beans (drain off most of the liquid), add the strips of chicken, then add the salsa. Roll it up and enjoy!
