Awesome Chicken Burritos

May 31, 2016 by Great Grub, Delicious Treats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

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?

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!

    Your recipe sounds very good! Since I don’t have a cruet, is there any way you can give me measurements for the wine vinegar and oil?

      Hi Elise,
      It’s approximately 2.5 oz (1/3 cup) red wine vinegar, 1 oz water, 4.5 oz oil = about 1 cup total, along with the dressing packet mix. I hope this helps! :)
