Chicken Burrito

I was really craving Chipotle yesterday, which isn't really different than any other day, but after some debating in my head and raiding of my fridge I decided to make my own burrito. Not only was it cheaper and just as delicious, I didn't have to leave the house! Since Mexican food is my favorite of all time, I knew I had to pack this burrito with delicious and nutritious ingredients.

Ingredients

  • Two 4 oz chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp of Greek yogurt
  • 1 Bell pepper (any color you want), cut into slices
  • 1 Jalapeño, chopped
  • 1/2 Yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 cup Corn kernels
  • 1 cup Black beans, drained and cleaned
  • 2 tbsp Salsa
  • 1 Avocado, cut into wedges
  • 4-5 Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 WW Tortillas
  • 4 leaves of Lettuce

Step 1: Clean up chicken breasts and cut into bite size pieces then drop into hot skillet with corn, pepper, onion and jalapeño. I added some oil and some Mexican seasoning to spice up the mixture. Cook until chicken is brownish and peppers, onions and corn is also browned.

Step 2: Get your tortilla ready by spreading the Greek yogurt on the bottom and pile on all your ingredients in any order you like. 

Step 3: Admire your beautiful work of art and devour!


This burrito was so packed with delicious ingredients, I could barely fold it hah! To save on some carbohydrates, you can ditch the tortilla and just combine all your ingredients into a bowl for a 'naked' burrito effect. I really liked the combination of all the flavors; Greek yogurt, chicken, jalapeños and salsa. I chose a pineapple salsa from TJs, it was about $2.50 for a jar and it is sweet, tangy with a little kick. For a more vegetarian option, you can opt for refried beans or mash up some black beans to make a kind of paste. This recipe makes about 2 of these bad boys, depending on how loaded you like your burritos. Overall, to construct this meal it took about 15 minutes. Feel free to sub anything in or out of this recipe, this is just what I like!

ENJOY!!
